If you’ve ever wished EU funding came with fewer spreadsheets, fewer disconnected processes and more clarity, come find us in Salamanca.
From 13 to 15 October, Kronis will be at Startup OLÉ 2026 for three days of live demos, discussions and a closer look at how technology can support the full funding journey.
And when we say funding journey, we mean the whole thing.
Finding the right opportunity. Deciding whether it is worth pursuing. Preparing an application. Managing the project once it is funded. Keeping the financial side under control.
These are different challenges, but they are all part of the same process. And that broader journey is the best way to understand Kronis today.
Funding starts long before the project does
When we talk about European funding, a lot of attention naturally goes to what happens after a grant has been awarded.
There is a project to deliver, partners to coordinate, milestones and deliverables to track, costs to manage and reporting requirements to meet. For many organisations, this also means navigating a mix of spreadsheets, documents, emails and different tools to keep everything moving.
But before any of that can happen, there is another set of decisions to make.
Which funding opportunities are relevant to us? Does this call actually fit what we want to do? Is it worth investing the time in an application? Do we have the right partners? How do we move from identifying an opportunity to actually pursuing it?
The funding journey starts with these questions and continues all the way through project delivery and financial compliance. Yet its different stages are often treated as separate processes.
Kronis brings more of that journey together, with a set of tools designed around the different needs organisations face as they look for, apply for and manage funding.
Where are you in the funding journey?
Depending on where you are, Kronis offers a different entry point:
- Kronis Search — Discover: explore relevant funding opportunities across EU programmes using AI-powered grant intelligence.
- Kronis Matcher — Qualify: assess how well an opportunity fits your organisation and explore potential partners before committing resources to an application.
- Kronis Apply — Apply: support the application process and both sides of cascade funding, whether you are applying to an open call or managing one yourself.
- Kronis PMO — Manage: coordinate milestones, deliverables and partners throughout the delivery of a funded project.
- Kronis Finance — Comply: manage timesheets, expenses and financial documentation with reporting and audit requirements in mind from the start.
Not every organisation needs all five tools at the same time. A startup searching for its next funding opportunity has very different immediate needs from an organisation already coordinating several European projects.
That is why Kronis is modular. Organisations can start with the tool that addresses the challenge in front of them and use other parts of the ecosystem as their needs evolve.
Come see Kronis in action
Startup OLÉ gives us the chance to bring Kronis closer to the people working with funding every day and show how technology can support the process in practice.
Throughout the event, we’ll be running live Kronis demos at the Sploro booth, giving visitors the chance to get a closer look at the product and the broader ecosystem behind it.
It will also be an opportunity to meet the team, ask questions and exchange ideas around the challenges organisations face when finding, applying for and managing funding.
And we’re taking the conversation to the stage
The role of technology in funding will also be part of the Sploro Summit, our series of panels within Startup OLÉ.
On 14 October (17:30 – 18:00), one of the sessions will focus on a topic closely connected to what we are building with Kronis:
Taming the Bureaucracy with Software
Grant administration doesn’t have to be the hard part
Salamanca, Congress Palace Halls, Room Cero
- Moderator: Miguel García, CEO and Co-founder (Sploro)
- Speakers: Alberto Sierra Bañón, COO and Co-founder (Sploro) and Néstor Rodríguez, Managing Director (Atrineo)
The panel will look at how digital tools and AI are changing the way organisations work with grants and administrative processes, with different perspectives from across the innovation ecosystem. The current programme also includes live walkthroughs of Kronis technology during the session.
It will also be a chance to look at the wider GrantTech space.
Technology already supports individual parts of the funding process, but there is still room to connect those parts more effectively. Finding opportunities, assessing calls, applying for funding, coordinating projects and managing financial compliance are closely linked, yet they are often handled through separate tools and processes.
That is where GrantTech becomes particularly interesting for us: not simply digitising one administrative task, but making the overall funding journey easier to navigate and manage.
It is also the thinking behind the way we present Kronis today. Rather than focusing only on project management or financial justification, we are looking at the wider lifecycle and building tools around the different needs organisations encounter along the way.
See you in Salamanca
We’re really looking forward to being at Startup OLÉ 2026 and meeting people who are working with funding from different perspectives.
If you’re looking for your next funding opportunity, assessing which calls are worth pursuing, preparing applications, managing funded projects or dealing with financial requirements, come and find us in Salamanca.
We’d love to hear how you’re currently approaching those challenges, what is working for you and where things still feel unnecessarily complicated.
And, of course, we’ll be happy to show you how Kronis supports the different stages of the funding journey.
Come by, say hi and let’s talk funding.
