Next Diba

We work alongside local authorities to unlock the full potential of European funds.

We support municipalities and local entities in the province of Barcelona throughout the entire lifecycle of a European-funded project: from identifying opportunities to application, management, monitoring and evaluation of results.

We are a team committed to defending local interests, providing useful resources, sharing knowledge and fostering strategic partnerships to drive projects with real and sustainable impact.
