We help turn your ideas into funded projects. RSM Croatia prepares and implements EU-funded projects for businesses, from SMEs to large investors: we find the right call or incentive, prepare the application and stay with you through to payout and the end of the sustainability period. We have more than 350 projects behind us and have helped clients secure more than EUR 400 million in grants.
EU funds remain one of the most important sources of development finance in Croatia. The Competitiveness and Cohesion Programme 2021-2027 continues to open new calls, the completion of Croatia's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) is changing the rhythm of funding, and negotiations on the 2028-2034 EU budget are already shaping the next period. A good idea is not enough. You need consistent documentation, a realistic budget, compliant procurement and disciplined implementation, because mistakes can mean paying funds back.

Our approach
Before applying, we give you an honest view of whether the project has a realistic chance and whether it is worth it for you. We then prepare an application that clearly links your goals to the objectives of the call. During implementation, we keep deadlines and rules under control, so the funding stays yours.

EU funds FAQs
The main source is the Competitiveness and Cohesion Programme 2021-2027, alongside national grants, HAMAG-BICRO and HBOR programmes, and programmes managed directly by the European Commission. We track open and upcoming calls and let you know which ones fit your project.
No, the decision lies with the funding authority. What we can promise is expert, timely preparation and an honest assessment of your chances before you invest time and money.
The earlier, the better. For larger investments, we recommend starting several months before the expected call, as studies, permits and supplier quotes take time.
Irregularities in procurement or reporting can lead to reduced funding or repayment. That is why we monitor implementation from day one and flag risks while they are still easy to fix.
