Our application process applies to all projects that meet our Eligibility Criteria. However, we recognise that large infrastructure projects are often more complex and may require advanced structuring. For such cases, we offer the opportunity to connect with us directly before submitting a full application. This allows for a tailored conversation and helps us propose the most relevant type of support from the beginning.If this applies to your project, feel free to reach out via the email apply@get-invest.eu with a brief summary (please include: project location, status, technology, investment volume, and the status of key studies).

At the moment, the application form is only available in English. At your request, we can assist you with different language-related matters. We have French, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking experts in our team. Foreign language-related matters will have no influence on our evaluation of proposals.
