The European part of the Arctic is suffering from underinvestment, while a number of EU funding instruments and services are ready to support innovation, infrastructure development, such as improving transport links, and businesses (e.g. through respectively the Investment Plan for Europe, Ten-T, Innovfin and the European Enterprise Network), the Commission will make efforts to enhance coordination between EU funding programmes relevant for the Arctic, identify key investment and research priorities as well as facilitate capacity building of stakeholders to maximise financial support for the region.
La partie européenne de l'Arctique souffre d'un manque d'investissements, alors même que plusieurs instruments et services de financement de l'UE ont vocation à soutenir l'innovation, le développement d'infrastructures, en particulier l'amélioration des réseaux de transport, et les entreprises (parmi eux, respectivement, le plan d'investissement pour l'Europe, le réseau RTE-T, InnovFin et le réseau Entreprises Europe).
