Strategic Investment Grants ( SIG ) are one of the delivery channels for the RDPE. These are available for large scale and collaborative projects which contribute to the four Action Plans:
- Food and drink
- Tourism
- Environmental technologies
- Support for the livestock industry
We are not currently inviting any new SIG applications as we conduct a review of activity supported to date across the thematic areas and priorities identified in the Regional Implementation Plan. Following the review and subject to RDPE budgets, a refocused SIG scheme may subsequently be re-introduced.
