· Uzinex's role

We do not prepare applications.
We provide the technical component.

European funds and government schemes are not a product. They are a process with 3 parties: the beneficiary (you), the accredited consultant (application writer), and the equipment supplier (Uzinex).

Uzinex covers strictly the technical component: detailed specifications, proformas with firm prices, feasibility study with technical-economic justification, implementation plan, compliance file (CE, ISO, STANAG), and supplier traceability. This component is the one most often rejected during evaluations. We handle it with industrial rigor.

We work with 3 ANAP-accredited consultants for preparing applications. On request, we facilitate the collaboration and supervise integration of the technical-financial file.
