Human capital grant opening

For last year, SME entrepreneurs could apply for a subsidy for human capital, aimed at the training and development of current or future staff. This subsidy module policy experiment human capital, or MKB!idea, was aimed at the technical SME under the Technology Pact. It has been decided to adapt the MKB!dee so that other SME entrepreneurs can also submit ideas.
