❗ 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐬 ❗ 🎙️ 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: #232 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐔 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰/Alina Totti 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧: https://lnkd.in/eTVzZNgK One of the clearest lines from this episode is also one of the most important: 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐬. In this week’s episode of The Grant, I have invited Alina Totti from Provincie Noord-Brabant into the virtual podcast studio for a talk about how regions build the foundations that later make EU funding possible. As you can hear in this sound snip the focus is quite clear in Provincie Noord-Brabant: if you are just waiting for the calls the come out, you are in most cases wasting valuable time – if you 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 when the calls are finally released. And that requires 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬. Further, we exchange in trust-building, interregional cooperation, strategic storytelling and understanding where your region actually fits in the wider European landscape. ❗ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 ❗ ⭐ Strong EU projects are often built long before the call opens. ⭐ Regions need relationships, not only funding intelligence. ⭐ Trust and positioning are part of the funding work. ⭐ Smart collaboration starts with knowing who you are and what you bring. ❗ 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭: https://lnkd.in/eT_FEgWp ❗ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐔 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬.
