"The technological breakthrough is rapidly changing the way business service centres operate, so we are giving them the opportunity to modernise and innovate. This is an important prerequisite for increasing work efficiency, and the introduction of robotics or artificial intelligence solutions will save time for the employees of these centres to perform other value-adding tasks," said Aušrinė Armonaitė, Minister of the Economy and Innovation.
Business service centres can receive up to €200,000 and up to 50% of the total project costs. Both Lithuanian and foreign companies registered in Lithuania are eligible to apply.
The projects will be implemented by selected promoters - business service centres. They will be able to use the funding to design and develop robotic process automation and artificial intelligence solutions.
"With this investment, business service centres will be able to automate management and operational processes such as sales or marketing, accounting, recruitment, finance and bookkeeping. This will not only allow them to move faster in improving business processes, but will also give them a competitive advantage," said Erika Kuročkina, Deputy Minister of the Economy and Innovation.
Project implementation plans will be accepted by the Central Project Management Agency (CPMA) until 28 June.
The full terms and conditions of the measure are available on the European Union Investment website.
The measure is implemented within the framework of the Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan "Next Generation Lithuania", funded by the European Union's NextGenerationEU programme.
