Contact Safaraz Ali Principal Director of Pathway Group, the Licensed Operator for Pera Technology. When it comes to understanding and sourcing funding from national and European grants bodies, Pera Technology has proved itself to be one of Europe's most successful grant support organisation and intermediaries. It's a question of knowing what is available in the first place… and then how best to access the pot. But this is easier said than done; it requires skill, experience and ability. Fortunately, Pera Technology's highly practised team of writers and grant specialists have just what it takes. Grant funding isn't for everyone. With it comes requirements and time scales that may just not be right for your business. So let Pera Technology listen to your needs and we will give an overview of public grant funding options – be they regional, national or pan-european. We can explain what they are, where they are found, what it takes to be awarded £millions or €millions and what the funding bodies require from you. Last year alone Pera Technology helped over a hundred companies to win over €150 million in grant funding. Pera Technology doesn't just stop with writing the winning grant proposals though, we will also project manage the entire thing through to delivery of the end result, ensuring all things proceed to plan and meet all and any requirements of the funding body.
