Direct peers

• Crido: Polish-origin consulting firm with a strong EU funds and public grants advisory practice serving Polish businesses. Comparable to CCG in target market (Polish SMEs/corporates seeking EU funding) and core service offering (grant acquisition and project settlement), but operates as a multi-disciplinary consulting house rather than a pure-play grants specialist.
• MDDP: Polish tax and management consulting firm with an active EU subsidies and grants advisory team. Directly comparable to CCG on EU grant acquisition for Polish enterprises, though MDDP bundles grants into a broader tax/finance advisory portfolio.
• Accreo: Polish consulting firm advising Polish businesses on EU funding, public grants, and project finance. Comparable target customer (Polish SMEs and corporates) and similar core competency in navigating EU operational programs, with a broader advisory footprint than CCG.
• JBR Group: Independent Polish consulting firm with an EU funds advisory practice assisting Polish SMEs and corporates with grant acquisition and project settlement. Directly comparable to CCG on service offering and target segment, though with a broader advisory portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• PwC Poland: Big 4 advisory firm in Poland with an established EU grants and incentives practice serving SME, corporate, and public-sector clients. Competes with CCG for grant engagements but offers EU funding advisory as part of a far broader consulting, tax, and audit portfolio.
• Deloitte Poland: Big 4 advisory firm with a Polish EU grants advisory practice serving SME and corporate clients. Overlaps with CCG on EU funding consulting but competes from a position of broader service breadth and brand scale.
• KPMG Poland: Big 4 advisory firm with an EU funds and incentives consulting team in Poland. Comparable in helping Polish companies access EU funding, but bundles this within a much wider advisory portfolio.
• EY Poland: Big 4 firm operating in Poland with an EU grants and incentives consulting practice. Competes with CCG on grant acquisition and compliance work for SME and corporate clients, but as part of a broader transformation and tax advisory franchise.
• Grant Thornton Poland: Mid-tier advisory firm in Poland with EU grants advisory as part of its consulting practice. Comparable target market and core activity in EU funding acquisition, but offered alongside audit, tax, and broader consulting services.
