Grant Thornton Cyprus is pleased to announce the launch of its EU Grant and Funding Scheme Programme Services, a new offering under its Business Consulting service line, designed to support public sector organisations and private sector enterprises, in accessing, managing, and maximising the value of European Union funding opportunities.
As EU-funded programmes continue to play a pivotal role in driving growth, innovation, and sustainable development, organisations are increasingly required to navigate complex funding frameworks, demanding application processes, and rigorous compliance requirements. Grant Thornton’s EU Grant and Funding Scheme Programme Services address these challenges by providing structured, end-to-end support across the full funding lifecycle, from early-stage concept development and application submission to post-award implementation and project completion.
The service offering is delivered through two distinct yet closely interconnected pillars: Application Process Support and Post-Grant Project Delivery Support, ensuring continuity, accountability, and strategic alignment throughout the EU funding journey.
Through its Application Process Support, Grant Thornton supports organisations in the public and private sector, like municipalities and SMEs, in identifying the most suitable EU funding opportunities aligned with their strategic priorities and operational needs. The team provides guidance throughout the complete application process, including concept development, eligibility and feasibility assessment, documentation preparation, proposal drafting, and submission. Where required, Grant Thornton also supports the formation of strong project consortia by facilitating collaboration with universities, research centres, and other relevant stakeholders, strengthening proposal quality and enhancing overall competitiveness.
Once funding is awarded, Grant Thornton’s Post-Grant Project Delivery Support focuses on enabling successful execution, compliance, and tangible impact for funded initiatives. Services include hands-on project management, coordination, progress and KPI monitoring, budget oversight, compliance and reporting obligations, and risk management. In addition, Grant Thornton provides specialised advisory support aligned with project objectives, such as strategy formulation, business process reengineering, operational improvement, and digital transformation, ensuring funded projects are delivered efficiently, transparently, and in full alignment with programme requirements.
Grant Thornton’s EU Grant and Funding Scheme Programme Services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience across multiple sectors and a strong understanding of EU funding frameworks, governance, and compliance standards. With a collaborative and client-centred approach, the firm supports clients at any stage of the funding cycle, while fostering effective cooperation with academic, research, and institutional partners where project design and delivery require it.

Sakis Moyseos, Partner and Business Consulting Services Leader, commented: “European funding programmes have become a critical driver of growth, innovation, and sustainable transformation for both public and private sector organisations. Through our EU Grant and Funding Scheme Programme Services, our team offers a structured and reliable approach that helps organisations translate funding into tangible, long-term value. Our objective is to act as a strategic partner, supporting clients from the initial concept through to successful implementation.”
Constantinos Raftis, Senior Manager, Business Consulting, added: “In practice, accessing European funding often involves complexity, strict compliance requirements, and significant delivery challenges. This new service has been designed to provide organisations with clarity, structure, and continuous support at every stage, from application preparation to project completion. By focusing on effective project management, transparency, and measurable outcomes, we help ensure that funded initiatives are delivered successfully and achieve meaningful impact.”
With this new service, Grant Thornton Cyprus further strengthens its Business Consulting portfolio, reaffirming its commitment to helping public and private sector organisations unlock the full potential of EU-funded opportunities and translate funding into sustainable, long-term value, from concept to completion.
