Interreg Sudoe is a European Union funding programme to support regional development and cohesion in the regions of south-west Europe.
To address the common challenges faced by the Sudoe regions, such as climate change, social cohesion and territorial balance, we support cooperation projects between entities in the Member States that make up this area.
