What ETAM does

ETAM (legal name: ETAM Anonymi Etairia Symvouleutikon kai Meletitikon Ypiresion / ETAM S.A.) is a privately-held Greek consulting and advisory services firm headquartered in Heraklion, Crete, founded in 1993. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of consulting services across two principal tracks: private-sector services (financial advisory, internal efficiency improvement, business internationalization/extroversion, hotel unit support, quality management systems, and co-financed program advisory) and public-sector services (developmental planning, project management and evaluation, technical assistance to institutions, communication and marketing strategy, and environmental studies). ETAM is particularly specialized in EU-funded research and innovation programmes, including Horizon Europe, Interreg, and Erasmus+, and serves private enterprises, regional and municipal governments, development agencies, and the European Commission. The company also supports the epaithros rural tourism network, an ecosystem platform positioned as Greece's first rural tourism networking umbrella, and its enhanced epaithros+ sub-brand.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees from quote-based, project-scoped engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated per engagement. ETAM markets primarily through direct sales to enterprise and government clients, supplemented by participation in EU research project consortia (Horizon projects PROMOFER, MINEYE, CIRCLE, and others), industry events and conferences (including BEYOND Expo), a corporate website, newsletter, and professional association membership (SESMA, PASEPPE). It holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 27701, and ELOT 1435 certifications, and is certified by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to provide subsidized consulting to Greek SMEs in Strategy and Quality Management. The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external shareholders, no funding rounds, and operates with 11-50 employees from a 350 sq.m. privately-owned headquarters in Heraklion.
