Let’s apply, but how?

Since our accession to the EU, all we have been listening to was how much financing is/will be available through tenders. This is also an issue of high priority for Univer and I think we are not the only ones. We have an employee assigned to the task of finding such opportunities. His job is not an easy one, since Univer Product Zrt. with 480 employees and annual revenues of HUF 10,5 billion does not qualify for most tenders. We will start expansion of our production and warehousing capacity in 2008 and we are already installing new technology this year. Without any support. Can we only count on ourselves? Or is it that we haven’t found the “right” consultants to prepare our application for us yet?
