Consulting firm for
European funds
Europe is mobilizing more than €1.8 trillion between 2021 and 2027, combining the multiannual financial framework and the NextGenerationEU instrument, including €95.5 billion for Horizon Europe – the EU research and innovation program – and nearly €16.8 billion allocated to France under cohesion policy (ERDF, ESF+, JTF). Yet the majority of SMEs and mid-sized companies do not access these European funds due to a lack of structured support. Eterra Partners, a specialized consulting firm, supports you from eligibility to full project management and the closing of your European funding application.
Let’s talk about your situation
European funds: a massive opportunity that most companies are leaving on the table
Despite the scale of European funding,many French SMEs and mid-caps are unable to access these funds. This is due to a complex environment, high technical requirements, and a lack of structured support.
- Administrative complexity of European programs and calls for projects
- Lack of awareness of funding schemes (ERDF, ESF+, Horizon Europe…)
- Incomplete or non-compliant applications failing to meet European Commission expectations
- Difficulty in structuring innovative projects and consortia
- Long lead times and high requirements regarding management and reporting
Due to a lack of anticipation, these funding opportunities remain untapped.
