In December 2022, Grant Thornton acquired a majority stake in Naviga Advisory and Evaluation (NAE). As of 1 October 2024, the acquisition process has been completed. The grant and evaluation business of Naviga Advisory and Evaluation is now 100% part of the Grant Thornton Group. “We are pleased that we have managed to bring the acquisition process to a successful conclusion. At Grant Thornton, we strive to continuously improve our services. We are convinced that by integrating the extensive experience and know-how of Naviga Advisory & Evaluation, we will achieve our goals in evaluating public strategic programmes and grant advisory services,” says Jiří Dvořák, Partner at Grant Thornton. 

Naviga Advisory and Evaluation 

Naviga Advisory and Evaluation (NAE) grew out of the original Evaluation Advisory CE, which was established in the mid-1990s in Brno. It has gradually become one of the leading consultants in the field of grant consultancy and evaluation of all kinds, with offices in Prague, Brno and České Budějovice. Both of these segments are still influenced by the flow of EU funds to the Czech Republic and this trend will continue throughout the current 2021-2027 programme period. 

Grant radar 

Along with the completion of the acquisition, the Naviga Advisory and Evaluation website has also been integrated into the Grant Thornton website. An important new feature added to the website in this context is the Grant Radar, which provides an overview of current and planned grant calls. You can search for a specific grant title yourself using a simple link page. You can of course also contact us directly. We will be happy to discuss with you, free of charge, the different grant options available to you.
