Grants / EU Funding

   

We have been present on the Romanian EU Funding market since its inception, when Romania joined the EU, in 2007.  We have acquired solid experience in helping private companies obtain grants (non-reimbursable funds) from the European Union and from Romanian Governmental Agencies.  We are most active in investment projects for private companies.

Our clients are microenterprises, SMEs and large enterprises from various sectors and industries.  The main focus is on green energy, automotive, manufacturing and tourism.  We are also involved in several construction and fishery projects.

We have gained significant experience in all Operational Programs in Romania.  We are primarily implementing projects under the following programs, especially within lines dedicated to private organisations:

  • Sectorial Operational Programme Increase of Economic Competitiveness
  • The National Programme for Rural Developments
  • The Regional Operational Programme

We provide complete integrated solutions for our clients, assuming responsibility for all phases of the process, from preliminary approval of funding to complete reimbursement of all eligible project-related expenses.

Our services include:

  • Identifying the relevant financing programs and making recommendation towards choosing the right program
  • Assistance in project development

  • Creating the optimal financing structure
