Finland’s development is a shared goal for Finns. It is in everyone’s interests that the best development ideas are also implemented – either without external assistance or in cooperation with others. Ideas can become reality with support from the European Union (EU). EU resources provide leverage that help Finns turn their ideas into practical development projects.

Structuralfunds.fi is the website for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and European Social Fund (ESF) in Finland. We provide information on the Funds as well as practical guidance for applicants, beneficiaries and authorities. The Managing Authority of ERDF and ESF is the Ministry of Employment and the Economy.
