Marta specializes in securing EU funding for the implementation of innovative projects, including grants managed at the level of the European Commission as well as mechanisms combining EU funds with national state aid. She advises clients at the project planning stage, aligning initiatives with EU policies and priorities, selecting appropriate support instruments, and preparing and managing application processes.
