Liiveri's own projects
Liiveri does local development work also through its own projects. Read below what kind of projects are currently underway.
Village of the future 2.0
Leader groups from Southern Pohja have applied for the Smart Villages cooperation project called Tulevaisuunen kylä 2.0.
Participating youth 2.0
The Participating Youth 2.0 project continues to develop the good operating models tried in the previous project, such as the low-threshold internationalization of young people. In addition, the project develops new youth activities for associations and other actors in the area. The project involves close cooperation with other organizations working with young people. Liiver's youth division acts as a resource for the project. Project implementation period: 30.04.2023-30.12.2024. The project's budget is €66,119.24.
GenGreen
The goal of the GenGreen project is to support a total of 50 female entrepreneurs in Southern and Central Ostrobothnia, Lapland, Norbotten, Tromsø and Finnmark. The project is implemented with the support of the Interreg Aurora program, which offers funding opportunities for cross-border cooperation in northern Europe in the area of Sweden, Finland and Norway.
The focus of the project is on creating networks, sharing information and developing synergies between participating companies. Liiveri is one of the nine implementation partners of the project.
Operating money
Operational money financed from the rural program is used for Leader activities. Currently, the so-called operating money for the transition period 2021–2022, with which financed projects and business subsidies are ongoing until the end of 2024. Projects funded from 2023 onwards are activated, supported and reported with CAP period operating money. For the years 2023–2027, €1,061,200 of operating money is available according to MMM's directive decision. The realization of the financed projects affects how much operating money is ultimately made available. Funding for operating money comes from the EU, the state and the municipalities of the region.

Speed to fiber optics

The project informed and activated villages and communities about the advantages and benefits brought by optical fiber and gathered possible investment targets and started their search for funding.
