Companies may apply for support to create new or develop existing shared services
or BPO centers, where at least 100 new employees will be hired (Innovative Economy

• The cost of tangible and intangible assets
• Two years’ salary costs for new employees.
For SSC the maximum refund amounts to 30% of eligible costs, however for R&D Centers,
depending on the localization, the maximum cash grant for large enterprises amounts to 50%
(70% for small and medium enterprises).
