Budget 2026: over PLN 1 billion from FEdKP
With nearly a thousand signed agreements and contracted funding at the level of PLN 5 billion (63.7% of the allocation), which summed up last year for us within the European Funds for Kujawy and Pomorze 2021-2027, we are the leading region in Poland in terms of progress in spending funds under the regional programme. In 2026, we have over PLN 1 billion to allocate under FEdKP.
“Funds from EU programmes still provide momentum for our economy and make it possible to implement important pro-development initiatives,” emphasises Marshal Piotr Całbecki. “It is thanks to the commitment of beneficiaries – public institutions, local governments, local government organisations, foundations and associations – who boldly reach for funds from the European Funds for Kujawy and Pomorze that we are able to deliver projects that meet the needs of the local community and develop the economy of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region.”
Among the projects contracted so far are, among others: the construction of an Organ Diagnostics Centre at the Regional Children’s Hospital in Bydgoszcz, modernisation of the tram track infrastructure in Toruń, development of a network of day care homes for seniors, purchase of modern electric trains for regional passenger connections, construction of a social services cluster in Chełmno, purchase of trams and modernisation of the depot in Grudziądz, construction of the second stage of the Mogilno bypass, construction of a complex of specialist outpatient clinics at the Regional Integrated Hospital in Toruń, as well as purchases of equipment and fire engines for volunteer fire brigades.
Ongoing calls for proposals concern:
- purchase of equipment for emergency services (budget: PLN 5 million)
- infrastructure for water rescue units (pool: PLN 6.4 million)
- development of energy-efficient district heating systems together with heat storage facilities (call budget: PLN 56 million)
- revitalisation of “presidential cities” (pool: PLN 23 million)
- tree planting along local roads (budget: PLN 7 million)
- tree planting along regional roads (pool: PLN 3 million)
- investments at dangerous locations/intersections (call budget: nearly PLN 7 million)
In 2026, we plan to announce a further 32 calls:
- Non-competitive – the total budget of 16 planned calls amounts to PLN 545 million. In the case of four of them, the amount depends on the results of FEdKP renegotiations conducted by the Marshal’s Office administration with the European Commission.
The main areas for these calls include: e-Health, road infrastructure (including further investments in dangerous locations/intersections, and bypasses for Golub-Dobrzyń, Sępólno Krajeńskie and Więcbork), support for cultural institutions (including the expansion of the Archaeological Museum in Biskupin or construction of the Grunwald cinema-theatre), as well as so-called “soft projects,” e.g. related to preschool education – bilingual preschoolers, scholarship support for students in schools providing general or vocational education, and telecare.
- Competitive – the total budget of planned calls to be announced is PLN 174 million.
The main areas include: energy/climate advisory services and promotion of alternative energy sources, infrastructure for volunteer and state fire services (OSP and PSP), purchase of equipment for volunteer fire services (OSP), roadside tree planting along regional roads, development of suburban/rural transport, development of specialist outpatient care and one-day treatment, and support for the social economy delivered by Social Economy Support Centres in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region.
Last year, we also completed the implementation of the 2014-2020 perspective programme in our region (the time shift in implementation was related to decisions at the government level and by the European Commission). We started with an allocation of PLN 680 million and finished with contracted funding of PLN 700 million (102% of the allocation; 2,700 grant agreements).
