From my experience with these projects and people running them, most are just grift designed to extract money from EU programs.

- ChuckNorris89 5y agoDon't know why you're being downvoted for stating the truth. In Brussels (and all over EU), many companies are founded just to leach off EU funds or to advise you how to do it, for a fee of course. They're basically red-tape companies, and it's big business in Brussels. Look around on LinkedIn and you'll see a bunch of serial entrepreneurs with fancy titles and pompous resumes, who found a new company every couple of years, each tailored to a new innovative way of sucking that EU grant money and producing zero real world results, other than a fancy looking website about the vision of the company, and writing lots documentation. And, honestly, I don't blame them, I blame the EU politicians for being monstrous idiots.
