SC21021 - C-Care Tech Resilience Voucher Scheme Framework

Kent County Council is leading on a new EU-funded project called C-Care (Covid Channel Area Response Exchange). The project aims to respond to some of the socio-economic challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. C-Care involves 4 English and 3 French partner organisations who are jointly implementing the project. C-Care will provide support to businesses and individuals at risk of exclusion in the France-Channel England area to aid economic recovery.

As part of this project, the Growth & Communities Division within Kent County Council will run a 'Technology Resilience' voucher pilot scheme to provide support to Kent businesses which have been impacted by the pandemic. The scheme is a non-statutory service and will enable Kent businesses to apply for a 'voucher' to implement a digital solution or project to help them with business resilience and economic recovery. The scheme is being funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Interreg France-Channel-England Programme.
