Why partner with Civitta for EU funding?

Securing EU funding is not just about writing a strong application—it’s about having a clear strategy, a compelling project narrative, and a partner who understands both your business and the funding landscape. At Civitta, we don’t just provide consultancy; we become your long-term strategic partner, guiding you through the entire funding lifecycle—from initial planning to post-funding implementation.

We understand your needs and tailor our approach to you

Unlike many consultancies that simply “write proposals,” Civitta works closely with you through workshops, discussions, and expert-led guidance to:

•  Identify the best funding opportunities for your specific goals and industry.
• Shape the project scope & narrative to align with both EU priorities and your business strategy.
•  Develop a winning funding roadmap, ensuring that your company can leverage EU funding not just once, but as part of a long-term growth strategy.

We don’t just “write proposals”—we help you craft a compelling story that resonates with evaluators.

We guide you through the full funding lifecycle

Many firms focus only on the application phase, but Civitta supports you at every stage:

•  Planning & Funding strategy – Mapping funding options, aligning them with your business goals, and defining the best-fit calls.
• Proposal development – Leading interactive workshops & discussions to structure a strong application, ensuring clarity and strategic impact.
• Application submission & evaluation support – Handling the administrative process and preparing responses to EU reviewer feedback.
• Post-funding project implementation – Managing compliance, financial reporting, and milestone-based payments to ensure smooth execution.

This end-to-end approach means you’re not just “applying for a grant”—you’re securing a funding strategy for long-term growth.

Our process ensures quality while minimizing your workload

We’ve developed a Signature Writing Process that enables us to deliver high-quality applications while minimizing the effort required from your side. Our structured methodology includes:

•  Kick-off & strategy alignment – Setting clear expectations, roles, and work structure.
  Thematic workshops – Deep-diving into your technology, business model, and impact through expert-led discussions.
• Data collection & research – Gathering key materials from you, while supplementing with our own market research.
• Writing & structuring the proposal – Developing each section in alignment with the call’s evaluation criteria.
•  Review & final approval – Keeping you informed at every stage, ensuring a strong, co-created proposal.

 Our clients appreciate that we are highly interactive, rather than just “requesting documents and writing alone.”

We expect your active involvement for the best results

EU funding success is not just about hiring a consultant—it requires collaboration. At Civitta, we work best with clients who are actively engaged in shaping the project.

•  We expect you to participate in discussions and workshops, ensuring the proposal truly reflects your vision.
• We encourage strategic thinking, helping you not just “get funding” but build a scalable, impactful project.
• We co-create, not just execute, making sure the final application is something you believe in and can confidently deliver.

 We work with companies that see EU Funding as a growth tool, not just free money.
