The European Union frequently looks for solutions for Europe-wide problems, and formulates overarching objectives in different policy areas. Private companies can play a big role in their successful implementation. Blue Door Consulting acts as a bridge to build cooperation between private companies in Central and Eastern Europe and the relevant EU institutions. Opportunities include relevant funding options, as well as developing cooperation with decision-makers at European Union and Member State level.

In particular, direct EU funding offers opportunities to develope business, carry out research and development projects, make investments and promote the digitalization and greening of firms. By tapping into these funds, the private sector has a unique opportunity to find a new way to further enhance its competitiveness across Europe.

In addition, Blue Door Consulting supports partners at all stages of participation in EU funding programmes: from project preparation and development to the monitoring of relevant applications, as well as proposal writing, including consortium building with European partners, taking over the administrative burden from the partners.
