It was a great way not only to present the latest funding calls, but also to be closer to the client, to hear their expectations and to answer their questions more precisely – here and now. During the events, regional entrepreneurs actively consulted us, which allowed us to feel the pulse of which funding opportunities are the most relevant, and for our clients to better understand how they could grow their business with the help of EU funds,” said Gintarė Kuncaitytė, Head of Investment Assessment of the Innovation Agency.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">According to her, the representatives from the Innovation Agency also told businesses about financial opportunities for export development, advised them on why it is worth investing in raising product awareness, and shared opportunities for employee development.
