€5.1 million drawn from a programme that has committed €301 million – and that money is doubly concentrated. The top three Latvian organisations take more than half the national total. Strand 2a, anchored by green-hydrogen work, holds 63% of it. And coordinating a project is worth on average €509k against €219k for a partner, roughly 2.3 times more – yet with only four coordinator roles to fourteen, partners still hold 60% of the euros.

The return on I3 isn’t capped by how many projects you join. It’s capped by how few you lead.

Second of three briefs following the money across I3’s strands and roles.
