EU funds
National governments and public bodies are increasingly responding to their expressed commitments in commerce and industry. One area of focus - reinforced by the enlargement of the European Union and its new financial period 2007 to 2013 - is helping selected domains of the private sector with financial support to advance the public interest. There are currently several hundred separate sources of grant, incentive or other financial support targeting commerce, industry, public and non-profit sectors in Europe. Available monies exceed billions of Euros and a large part remains unclaimed. There are vast support resources awaiting organizations with an appropriate project candidate and able to negotiate their way through the complex grant application and awarding process.
