What are direct EU funding opportunities?
Access to finance
Direct EU funds present a so far un(der)tapped financing opportunity across Europe. We work with partners from EU Members States, as well as organisations from countries which are associated to diverse EU funding programmes, such as the UK to Horizon Europe. By tapping into these funds, the private sector has a unique opportunity to find a new way to further enhance its competitiveness.
Market expansion
Direct EU funds can also help finance expanding activities to other Member States, by building cross-border partnerships. We walk you through the whole process and help you do that from A to Z.

What we can do for you
We constantly monitor direct EU funding opportunities across all relevant EU programmes (including, but not limited to Horizon Europe, LIFE, Innovation Fund, Creative Europe, Digital Europe) and inform our partners about relevant calls.
As most of these direct EU calls require consortia (partnership between at least 3 entities across at least 3 different Member States), we leverage and use our wide network in EU Member States and beyond to help find partners for these consortium (including the Western Balkans, the UK and Ukraine).
Our objective is to ensure that a meaningful and successful partnership is built based on the initial project idea of our partner.

Why choose us?
Our in-house expertise on EU affairs ensures that we are continuously keeping our pulse on relevant on-going (and future) policy and legislative developments on EU level.
This is essential so that we can better position project proposals within the framework of EU policy priorities, demonstrating how they will contribute to fulfilling and implementing relevant EU policy objectives.
Our strong understanding of both Central and Eastern Europe and Brussels is a valuable asset to help translate and fit project proposals into the framework required by these calls.
