Recital 14

(14) The Sovereignty Portal should be set up by the Commission to provide information on available support for projects contributing to the STEP objectives. To address the needs of companies and project promoters seeking funds for STEP projects under Union funding programmes, the Sovereignty Portal should display in an accessible and user-friendly manner the funding opportunities for STEP investments available under the Union budget. That should include information about directly managed Union programmes, such as Horizon Europe, the European Defence Fund, the Innovation Fund, the EU4Health Programme, the Digital Europe Programme and other Union funding sources, such as InvestEU, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the ERDF, the Cohesion Fund, the ESF+ and the JTF. Moreover, the Sovereignty Portal should help increase the visibility for STEP investments towards investors, by listing the projects that have been awarded a Sovereignty Seal. The Sovereignty Portal should also list the national competent authorities responsible for acting as contact points for the implementation of the STEP at national level. The Commission should ensure the complementarity of the Sovereignty Portal with similar platforms and avoid overregulation and administrative burden.
