EU Programs for Business — Current Procedures and EU Project Contractor

Complete information on the specific EU programs for Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises — who can apply, what is funded, and how to choose an EU project contractor.

What are EU programs?

EU programs are grant-funding measures co-financed by the European Union through which Bulgarian micro, small and medium-sized enterprises receive funds for investment, innovation, digitalization and the green transition. Each procedure has its own eligibility conditions, grant amount and eligible costs.

Astra Solutions works as an EU project contractor — we build the software, automations and systems funded by approved projects, and we help businesses decide which specific procedure to apply for.

Current EU Programs

Open and upcoming procedures under the "Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises" programme 2021–2027.

EU Project Contractor for Software

An approved grant funds real assets — including software, CRM/ERP systems and automations. Astra Solutions is your contractor: we design and build the solution, deliver and deploy it, and provide the documentation required to report the project.

Frequently Asked Questions about EU Programs

What is an EU program and how can it help my business?

An EU program is a grant-funding scheme co-financed by the EU that covers part of the cost of investment, innovation or digitalization for a company. The goal is to increase the competitiveness of Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises.

How do I know which specific EU program I can apply for?

Each procedure has specific conditions — enterprise category, minimum revenue, place of implementation and eligible costs. Contact us and we will assess which of the current EU programs your business is eligible for.

What does "EU project contractor" mean?

The contractor is the company that delivers the assets or services funded by the project — for example, developing the software or deploying the system. The applicant selects a contractor under the applicable rules, and the cost is recognized when the project is reported.

Does Astra Solutions build the software funded by the EU project?

Yes. We are an EU project contractor for software — we build custom CRM, ERP and automations funded by approved projects, and we provide the documentation required for reporting.
