I help agritech and cleantech teams secure EU grants and meet regulatory requirements.
PolandWhat I'm looking for
I've spent 10+ years at the Marshal Office of the Lubelskie Voivodship, helping design, evaluate, monitor and audit EU-funded regional programmes. I know how selection criteria are built, why applications fail, and what funding bodies and audits require.
I combine EU grant strategy, environmental compliance and public-sector programme delivery with an MSc Eng. in Animal Science and hands-on experience in agriculture, rural development and agri-market monitoring. I'm particularly interested in supporting agritech, cleantech and circular-economy organisations with non-dilutive funding and safer regulatory compliance.
