Solutions
After the PNRR, funding does not disappear. It fragments.
Kairos is a funding intelligence system for European, national and regional funds. It reads the sources for you and delivers, every week, only the calls your organisation is eligible for, with the deadline and the reasoning next to each one.

One window closes. Dozens of channels open.
The PNRR window closes in 2026. The funds that Italian municipalities relied on for four years are being redistributed across dozens of smaller channels: cohesion 2021–27, regional calls, ministries, GSE, banking foundations and directly managed EU programmes. Each has its own rules, deadlines and eligibility criteria.
Until 2026
One window
The PNRR concentrated resources in a few visible lines that were easy to follow.
From 2027
Dozens of channels
Smaller and scattered, each with its own calendar and procedure.
The consequence
Monitoring multiplies
The number of sources to follow grows. The staff who can follow them does not.
You build the projects for your territory. We find the funds.
From noise to decision.
Kairos is not a portal to browse. It reads the sources for you and brings forward only what you can actually apply for.
Continuous monitoring
Italian and European sources read every day, in 24 languages. Open calls and calls announced in advance.
Eligibility pre-check
Population thresholds, zones, sector criteria and EU requirements checked before any assessment.
Affinity score
Every call gets a score and a written rationale, so it can be challenged.
Decision queue
Highly relevant, still-open calls stay at the top until someone decides.
Finding the call is the easy part.
Municipalities do not lose funds because they do not know they exist. They lose them because the application has to be written, the partnership has to be built and, once awarded, the project has to be reported. Kairos covers the three steps where applications really stall.
Application
Drafting the proposal
An agent reads the call documents, extracts the requirements matrix and drafts the application section by section.
- Requirements matrix, each item anchored to a quote from the call
- Draft written on the call documents and your own documentation
- Validated against the matrix before the final document is produced
A requirement that is not in the call documents is discarded, never invented.
Partnership
Partner matching
Most European programmes do not accept a municipality on its own: an eligible partnership is needed, and it has to be built before the deadline.
- Partnership requirement read directly from the call
- Compatible bodies by type, geography and sector
- Previous experience in the same programme
The constraint that excludes most municipalities from EU funds is the partner, not the project.
After the award
Reporting
Once the call is won, the work begins. Kairos supports project delivery where the administration needs it.
- Milestone calendar from the funding agreement
- Reporting obligations and formats required by the programme
- Reporting deadlines followed until closure
A grant reported badly is a grant that goes back.
One register, from discovery to closure.
Every call has a status, and the status is visible to the whole administration. No shared spreadsheets, no network folders: whoever takes over sees the full history.

One call pays for it.
| Without Kairos | With Kairos | |
|---|---|---|
| Source monitoring | A few portals, when the office finds the time. | Italian and European sources every day, in 24 languages. |
| Cost of the alternative | A dedicated funding officer: €50–70,000 a year fully loaded, still covering only a fraction of the sources. | One annual fee, a single direct award. |
| Your team’s time | Continuous searching, spread across departments that have other work to do. | A 30-minute onboarding session, then less than an hour a month. |
| Ineligible calls | Read, assessed and discarded after hours of work. | Filtered out before assessment: they never reach your desk. |
| Writing the application | An external consultant per project, or no application at all. | Draft written on the call documents and validated against the requirements matrix. |
| After the award | Reporting handled by hand, with the risk of the grant being revoked. | Milestones and reporting deadlines followed until closure. |
| Return on investment | Not measurable: staff costs are fixed, results are not. | One call won in time pays for the whole annual fee. Every call after that is margin. |
The price is always lower than a lost grant.
