High-Wage Business Acceleration in Northern Villages (Directive 4.85)
Funds Grants to establish expand or relocate high-wage ventures in northern villages per Government Decision.
Directive 4.85, titled Acceleration and Growth Program for Businesses and Creation of High-Wage Jobs in Northern Villages, supports establishment, expansion, or relocation of qualifying ventures in villages identified under Government Decision 3625. It is part of a broader northern-regional recovery strategy led by the Ministry of Economy and Industry. The directive was first published on 18 September 2025 and updated in May 2026. The first cycle was closed, and the source indicates that a new cycle opened with a submission deadline of 8 July 2026. The program is intended for ventures targeting high-wage job creation in designated northern areas, and applicants should treat the deadline-driven cycle structure as active only for each published round. Supporting materials also reference appendices covering documentation and feasibility requirements for relocation, expansion, and village eligibility.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
