Our approach
Established expertise in the management of complex co-financed Programs, with specialized know-how in the area of start-up, implementation and closure procedures, specifically:

- knowledge of the thematic context for the purpose of identifying complementary interventions to be financed through other funding sources in order to ensure their "cantierabilità" on the ERDF PR with a view to safeguarding expenditure;
- support to PA in optimizing the use of different funds both in terms of types of interventions and beneficiaries/territories receiving funding;
- improvement of the quality of reporting and certification of expenditure by beneficiary enterprises;
- strengthened monitoring system of strategic Program interventions and Regional Sector Strategies;
