What Eupolis group Ltd does

Eupolis group Ltd is a privately held Croatian consulting and integrated development firm founded in 2000 in Split, with a secondary office in Osijek. The company delivers agile integrated development, EU funding advisory, and project preparation/management services to Croatian public bodies (cities, counties, nature parks), private-sector clients (e.g., KENDA Manufacturing HR), and civil-society organizations, with 140+ projects totaling €150M+ in project value over 25 years. Its service portfolio spans agile development and financing plans, wise (green, digital, fair) transition plans, strategic and feasibility documentation, creative training (Rootcamps, Creathons), and an AI-enhanced Rootcamp co-working venue, all delivered through a small team led by founder-CEO Ranko Milić.

The business is organized around a proprietary agile integrated development methodology that maps needs, resources, activities, and financing models into executable roadmaps. Its '3WISE Innovation Supercluster' umbrella encompasses 12+ sub-brands (Wise BioSfera, Wise AgroBioSfera, Wise Governance, Wise Mobility, Wise Education, WisePlace, WiseTech, Amovamo, etc.) targeting sustainability, circular resource management, and 'Industry 5.0' solutions. The firm has led cross-border EU consortia including FU-TOURISM (€4.18M, 6 countries), Green LaMiS (€1.83M, Central Europe), and MedCycleTour (EuroVelo 8 cycling route), and acts as a lead partner or capacity-builder for major engagements such as the City of Dubrovnik's EU funds department (€160M secured). Revenue is generated through professional services fees on consulting, documentation, and consortium management work, with no publicly disclosed pricing or standard product licensing.
