Overview:





HOW?

Public Procurement

Financial InstrumentsGrants

Other opportunities in the European Union:

Financial Instruments


The European Union provides guarantees, loans and equity capital to intermediaries who, in turn, lend money to SMEs and finance their equity capital. These intermediaries are banks, credit institutions or investment funds.

Public Procurement


The European Commission celebrates public contracts to purchase goods and services.

Annually, the value of goods and services contracted by the Commission was EUR 2.86 million, and of these 81% were allocated to services, 7% to works, and 12% to supply contracts.

Each year the Commission awards approximately 9,000 contracts.

Grants


The European Commission makes direct financial contributions in the form of grants to support projects or organizations that promote the interests of the EU or contribute to the implementation of a policy or program of the EU.

Some priority areas are:


Entreprises and Industry

COSME is the EU programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) running from 2014 to 2020 with a planned budget of €2.3bn.

Research & Innovation

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract.

Consortia:


Interested parties can apply by responding to invitations to tender, frequently through the establishment of European consortia.

This is a great opportunity for cooperation between Croatian and Portuguese enterprises.

Roughly 80% of the decisions with impact in enterprises are made in Brussels.

There are an estimated 20 000 active lobbyists in Brussels.
