We cover all phases of the project cycle. We focus on the shift to climate-neutral, green and innovative projects in many areas, including:

We continue to refine our approach to investment appraisal, harmonising project evaluation to ensure consistency across Member States and sectors. Involving our experts in the appraisal process is known to substantially reduce the average time required by the Commission to process project approval.
We consolidate the knowledge transferred during project assignments into workshops and training courses, which can be delivered in Brussels, in your country or online. We also publish working papers to disseminate best practices and address issues commonly encountered during project preparation.
As climate change adaptation and the transition to a carbon-neutral economy raise increasingly tough challenges, our support is needed more than ever in the European Union.
We help Member States through two different funds:
Building on its long track record of experience in the European Union, we expanded our operations beyond EU borders.
Since 2013, we have worked with pre-accession countries through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance. We help these countries develop infrastructure projects that meet the requirements for EU grant support, prepare sectoral strategies and strengthen relevant capacities.
Since 2016, our support covers all Western Balkans countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia and the Republic of North Macedonia) as well as Türkiye.
Our experts started supporting Moldova and Ukraine in 2023. Moreover, we have further expanded our area of operation through the facility for Eastern Partnership Investment in Connectivity (EPIC) to include the EU’s Eastern Partners Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
