GUIDE started as an e-Content grant-assisted project
GUIDE is the brainchild of j4b Software & Publishing Limited and Europe's leading specialist grants consultancies, PNO and Econet. These three successful companies have nearly 40 years of experience of grants between them and saw the increasing need for a comprehensive and sophisticated grants database for Europe.
The two-year development of GUIDE was part-funded by the European Commissions e-Content Programme and led to the pilot launch with 5 countries at the end of 2004.
The site is continually developing and coverage is growing each month towards the goal of integrating grant funding and inward investment information for all 25 countries in the European Union.
