Obtaining funds from EU subsidies maybe a milestone in the development of companies and projects run by various institutions. For this reason, JWP Patent Attorneys support companies, universities, and organizations specializing in preparing EU funding applications. We provide support in preparing those sections which are related to industrial property, as part of such programmes as the Intelligent Development Operational Programme, the Eastern Poland Operational Programme, and other regional programmes.
We cooperate with consultants who have longstanding experience in preparing subsidy applications and obtaining EU funds, providing comprehensive services, and supporting applicants in running projects financed from public funds. To find out how to obtain EU and local funding, you can watch our partner Crido Taxand’s video blog.
