Project & program management

Hire an ESPA and EU funding advisor in Greece and Cyprus

EU programmes fund a large share of business investment here; the advisor turns a good project into an eligible, well-run application.

ESPA, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, and programmes such as Horizon and LIFE finance equipment, digitalisation, exports, research, and green investment across Greece and Cyprus. Each call has its own eligibility rules, scoring logic, and reporting duties, and the calendar rarely waits. An ESPA and EU funding advisor reads the calls against your plans, builds the application, and keeps the grant compliant from approval to final payment.

The advisors on Hellenic Talent come from consultancies, development agencies, and companies that have run funded projects of their own. They know how the managing authorities read a file, where applications lose points, and what the audit will ask for two years later.

What does an ESPA & EU funding advisor actually do?

  • Screen open and upcoming calls against your investment plans and eligibility
  • Shape the project so it scores well without bending it away from what you need
  • Prepare the application, the budget, and the supporting file
  • Handle clarifications and objections with the managing authority
  • Set up the reporting, procurement, and payment-claim routine once the grant is approved
  • Keep the project audit-ready through to the final payment

How to choose the right ESPA & EU funding advisor

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Knows the current calls

    Talks about the programmes open now and the ones expected next, not the last cycle.

  2. Has taken files to payment

    Has carried applications through approval, reporting, and final claims, not only the submission.

  3. Honest about eligibility

    Says early when a project will not qualify or will score too low to be worth the effort.

  4. Fits your sector

    Has worked on calls for your kind of business: manufacturing, tourism, technology, or services.

  5. Explains the obligations

    Spells out the reporting and procurement duties before you sign, not after.
