Research notes: Schedule row 27: «Ψηφιακή μετάβαση επιχειρήσεων της Π.Ι.Ν.», RSO1.2, €2,000,000, beneficiaries: SMEs of the Region via the Ionian Islands SME management body, planned Nov 2026 – Feb 2027. Whether new firms qualify is not stated (stage set to 'existing' provisionally). Listed in the Managing Authority's official 2026 call schedule (2nd amendment, approval decision dated 04/06/2026, posted 05/06/2026). As of 17/10/2026 no pre-publication or call text has been posted on pepionia.gr or efepae.gr, so amounts, aid rates, sizes/eligibility details, evaluation method and dates are unknown (null). Instrument assumed 'grant' because the schedule describes it as aid to SMEs under RSO1.x via a management body — confirm when published. Planned periods in Greek schedules often slip.
