''When we decided to apply for SME Instrument funding, we had no previous experience with such procedures.  Our colleague advised us to contact Mr. Zemljic, as he is very succesful and experienced with H2020 submissions.  Mr. Zemljic accepted our project and helped us a lot with advices on proposal structure, business terminology and strategy.  Our proposal has evolved from roughly outlined to successfully-passed  and granted project. We especially appreciated his calming energy and help in stressful events, like final proposal submission. We would definitely recommend working with him.''

"After my first SME submission which scored 11.2, I have spoken to four consulting agencies Belgium, Holland etc. aiming at providing support for the SME project proposals improvements. However, their conditions and competencies were not convincing. Luckily, I have gotten the information from the Serbian SME community about Mr. Kristjan Zemljic, as one of the most respected SME H2020 consultants with a very high success rate. Kristjan accepted to discuss my project and afterward, despite the short notice, worked with me on the proposal. In a couple of iterations, he managed to reinforce the business side of the project, as well as to help me strengthen my business strategy, use of business terminology and confidence in my project, which resulted in successfully passing several pitching phases in the accelerator program I attended and reaching the finals. The submitted project, on the other hand, was selected for funding, which I was very happy with. Besides being extremely professional, Kristjan is a very pleasant person to work with. He is dedicated and devoted to his mission - helping raise the level of innovative project proposals in EU. I would definitely work again with Kristjan and have already recommended him to several SME owners and CEOs."

“Odobreno Consulting has an amazing results in SME Instrument, which is not suprising me at all. A key to win the Sme Instrument is in understaning it. Kristjan, lead expert who worked with us, brought in that perspective. He knows exactly what evaluators are looking for and how to catch and retain their attention. And that is how you can stand out from other competitive projects. Each word counts and Kristjan doesn‘t give up until everything is in its place. What I also liked was web page od Odobreno consulting which is full of usefull blogs, e-books and video trainings which helped us prepare even better. I recommend Odobreno Consulting for cooperation to any innovative company which aims to take part in Sme Instrument.”

”Cooperation with Global Disruption and Kristjan Zemljič was highly positive. Kristjan's experience and knowledge of the intricacies of the SME Instrument significantly simplified and sped up the application process for our team. He was very responsive and even helped us to finalise the application over public holidays providing support till the very last moment of the submission.”

”Tom PIT has innovative ideas, products and experts. When we applied for SME Instrument we wanted to present also commercial potential of the idea. Consultancy Global Disruption and its lead expert, Kristjan Zemljic, offered us invaluable guidance to convince evaluators. His expertize, practical knowledge and lots of patience were complimenting our team competencies which resulted in winning the grant!”

“Writing an SME instrument project proposal is a challenging task that requires time, involvement and the right words which will present your idea in the language of the evaluate. It is a challenge that Kristjan helped us to overcome. He knows which questions are expected to be answered and even the right words to use while doing it. A score of 14,07 which our proposal received is proving it. We are thankful for the help and are looking forward to future cooperation.”

”Cooperation with company Global Disruption and Kristjan Zemljic enabled us to significantly improve quality of our project proposal for SME Instrument in very short time. He is very efficient, supportive and ready for providing expert advices. He demonstates high level of expertise and proffesional attitude and is available till the very last possible moment prior submisson. It is obvious that he understands this proffesion more then just a work – for him it is a mission.”

It has been a pleasant and professionally fulfilling experience to cooperate with Kristjan as a coordinator of one of the Eu-funded projects we took part in. Kristjan’s professional approach mixed with warm personality and goal orientation enabled the whole partnership to work efficiently and to develop over the period of three years. It would be a pleasure to work with Kristjan again.”

Kristjan is a real professional to work with. We approached Kristjan to help us improve our H2020 proposal, just 10 days ahead of the submission deadline, not knowing what quality of a job he could deliver in such a short notice. He managed to make insightful comments and tips, not just on the content, but also on our proposal structure, layout and writing style. Furthermore, he made himself available for a second review and another follow-up, despite the pressing time constraints. Kristjan showed that he knows all aspects of this field thoroughly. He shared his knowledge openly, contributed to a very smooth collaboration and, in the process, he helped us gain valuable knowledge too. We hope to have the chance to collaborate with him again in the future.
