In Brussels since 1991: a legacy of excellence

Together with clients, we develop a strategic approach towards EU funding opportunities.

IDP European Consultants developed a robust expertise in most European funding programmes, with specific competences in Horizon Europe, Single Market Programme, Life and Erasmus+ thanks to multiple years of experience in supporting companies’ competitiveness, internationalisation and R&I since the 4th Framework Programme.

Such direct experience complements the expertise in proposal drafting with the direct knowledge of the evaluation process and mechanisms. Moreover, at IDP we have developed robust project management and thematic practice thanks to the direct involvement in projects in diverse fields, such as: Education & Training and Sport: multiple projects approved since the Lifelong Learning Programme and an impressive success rate of 80% of proposals approved in Erasmus+; Finance and financial inclusion: sound expertise in financial sector development, financial engineering and inclusion developed thanks to the direct involvement in a wide range of projects pertaining to access to finance, structured finance, financial engineering, crowd-funding and crowd-investing; International cooperation and development: in-house expertise in international cooperation programmes and projects. In addition to direct experience in the EU external action programmes, senior partners of IDP European Consultants have worked for International Organisations in different areas of finance and private sector development; Third Sector and social inclusion: over the years, IDP European Consultants built a strong capacity to support clients from the Third Sector on various social inclusion themes such as equity and diversity, volunteering, social integration and social support services.
