The amount is even lower than the estimates of the association in mid last year, which pointed towards a rebound compared with the first half of the year. In September 2025, investors announced intent to allocate over EUR2.5 milion to projects in the second half, more than double the about EUR900,000 investment in the first half of 2025. Final data show the promise did not materialize and investments stood at merely EUR687,000 in the second half of 2025, or 27% of the estimated amount, due to fiscal and economic uncertainties that froze financing decisions.
