Who are we? 

Our team consists of experienced professionals with backgrounds in renowned consulting companies and international experience, which is a great advantage in understanding the needs and expectations of our clients.

We are a smaller, highly agile company ready to deliver significant and rapid results, often more effective than large multinational consulting firms.

What do we do? 

We provide expert advice in the areas of grant financing, investment aid, state aid, research and development, and green investments. We help entrepreneurs, public institutions, and investors take advantage of available support mechanisms and ensure their proper and effective implementation.

We accompany our clients throughout the entire process – from the initial assessment of financing options, through the preparation of documentation and negotiations with public authorities, to support during project implementation.
Our role is to simplify complex processes, reduce administrative burdens, and deliver solutions that support growth, innovation, and sustainability.
