EU Funding Support for SMEs and Organisations.
EU Funding Support for SMEs and Organisations.
The European Union offers numerous funding programmes aimed at fostering innovation, competitiveness, digitalisation, sustainability, and business growth. However, understanding the European funding ecosystem, identifying the most suitable calls, and preparing competitive proposals require expertise and a strategic approach.
At Planinlux, we help companies and organisations identify European funding opportunities and support them throughout the preparation and submission of proposals for programmes managed by the European Commission and other European agencies, such as Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator, Digital Europe, LIFE, and Erasmus+, among others.

Our Approach
We begin with an initial meeting to understand the client’s objectives, capabilities, and priorities. Based on this analysis, we identify the most relevant European funding opportunities and define a participation strategy. We then support the preparation of the proposal, the search for partners when necessary, and the submission of the project, providing continuous guidance throughout the entire process in order to maximise the chances of success.
