EURelations

What EURelations does

EURelations (legal name: Eurelations GEIE) is a European Economic Interest Grouping (GEIE) established in 2002 under EU Regulation (CEE) n. 2137/85 and headquartered in Campobasso, Italy, with a liaison office in Brussels, Belgium. The organization functions as a specialized professional services firm that helps public authorities, non-profit organizations, and private enterprises identify, apply for, and manage EU-funded projects, with a focus on transnational territorial cooperation programs including Interreg (Italia-Croazia, Grecia-Italia, IPA Sud Adriatico), Erasmus+, and Italy's PNRR.

The company's offering centers on the full project cycle: program monitoring and call identification, proposal ideation and candidacy preparation, transnational partnership formation, project management and coordination, and ongoing technical assistance for beneficiaries. Its underlying technology is non-proprietary; delivery rests on consulting expertise, institutional relationships with EU and regional bodies, and the legal standing afforded by the GEIE form, which is purpose-built for cross-border cooperation among entities from different member states. Active engagements include Lead Partner roles in YPACT and DEMY-COOP under Interreg Italia-Croazia 2021-2027, coordinator of the PNRR-funded MarObsSys project, and partner roles across Bridging Communities, FRAME, HEVON, E-CITIJENS, and Y-O MODEL.

Revenue is generated on a professional-services basis through service contracts tied to EU-funded programs and their beneficiaries. The organization operates with approximately 7 employees across its two offices and reports a 9-country European footprint via its member entities. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct engagement, participation in EU program events, and reputation within the Interreg and territorial cooperation ecosystem rather than a marketing-led or product-led motion.
