Product overview

The GDR Campiña de Jerez y Costa Noroeste de Cádiz is a non-profit rural development association that operates primarily as a fund management and technical assistance organization for EU rural development programs. Its core offering is the management of LEADER/FEADER grant programs across three aid lines covering agricultural development, rural diversification, and rural quality of life. Complementing this, it runs the CaixaBank co-funded Tierra de Oportunidades entrepreneurship program and offers an AI-powered virtual assistance tool (Agente GDR) built on Google Notebook to guide applicants through grant eligibility. The organization also participates in multi-territory cooperative projects such as Netzero-Doñana and provides free advisory services to local project promoters. The portfolio is structured around grant administration and business development support rather than a traditional software product.
