Team

Con­sists of several sea­so­ned experts in the field of grants and incen­ti­ves. The mem­bers are espe­cial­ly com­pe­tent for Croa­ti­an govern­men­tal funds. One knows the Croa­ti­an glass­works regi­ons well, ano­t­her is use­ful in the petro­che­mi­cal sec­tor, sin­ce he worked as a for­mer manage­ment board mem­ber of the Croa­ti­an electric com­pa­ny. While not direct­ly invol­ved in that indus­try, he knows it very well. The team is for­med and led by an Ame­ri­can con­sul­tant, who has been working in the West Bal­kans for over 10 years. He is an expert for EU grants and co-funding.

Gene­ral over­view of grants and incen­ti­ves in Croatia

Manu­fac­tu­ring moder­niz­a­ti­on and extensions:

incen­ti­ves are avail­ab­le if they crea­te jobs. Tan­gi­ble and intan­gi­ble invest­ments qua­li­fy as do gross wages for two years. Invest­ment must be main­tai­ned for 3–5 years depen­ding upon the size of the firm invol­ved. In addi­ti­on, tax incen­ti­ves are avail­ab­le. Trai­ning and employ­ment incen­ti­ves, too.

Ener­gy savings:

a num­ber of sources inclu­ding incre­a­singly EU funds local­ly admi­nis­te­red. Co-finan­cing avail­ab­le for docu­men­ta­ti­on and imple­men­ta­ti­on of ener­gy-saving mea­su­res, inclu­ding spe­ci­fi­cal­ly con­ver­si­on to rene­wa­bles. EBRD and others are fun­ding co-gen, alt­hough pri­ma­ri­ly for local governments. Inte­rest-free loans are also avail­ab­le as are ESCO pro­grams with HEP and pri­va­te par­ties (not aid, but still worth noting). Solar is not worth loo­king at, becau­se the feed-in-tariffs aren’t good, but wind and some forms of bio­mass are, pro­vi­ded that you can get the fuel. We have serious experts for this who know all the rele­vant peop­le and programs.

R&D:

Local incen­ti­ves are scar­ce, EU — H2020 the man source to be aimed at.

The expert who prepared/assisted in pre­pa­ring the­se app­li­ca­ti­ons has a gre­at deal of expe­ri­ence in working with Croa­ti­an govern­men­tal enti­ties, inclu­ding in par­ti­cu­lar tho­se pro­vi­ding offi­cial finan­ce to local and for­eign companies.
