Euro Adria Challenge – ENG2025-03-21T13:26:58+00:00

Four companies, one reality

Euro Adria Challenge is a group of European companies, a legal entity called E.E.I.G., created with the aim of developing, facilitating and improving the activities of its individual members in the field of maritime and port works and services. We pool resources, activities and experience to improve the performance of each entity in an increasingly complex market.

Each partner has its own professional specificity that is different and complementary to those of the others, and this, through cooperation, guarantees the possibility of offering a complete and high-quality service and work from ONE legal entity on a transnational European territory that will increasingly require services and works of this nature.

THE E.E.I.G.

Euro Adria Challenge is a group of European companies, a legal entity called EEIG, created with the aim of developing, facilitating and improving the activities of its individual members in the field of maritime and port works and services. We pool resources, activities and experience to improve the performance of each entity in an increasingly complex market.

The EEIG is born from a legal contract in which several entities (Partners) join forces in a flexible and effective way. Each participant, after signing the contract once the objectives to be achieved in Community matters have been defined, can go back to its own mission, worrying only about the monitoring and control phases of the EEIG. From that moment on, the EEIG operates autonomously, interfacing with its associated partners with regard to the achievement of its objectives.

The purpose of the grouping is to facilitate or develop the economic activities of its members by pooling resources, activities and experience. Its objective is not to make profits for itself, but to improve the performance of its individual members. If the group makes profits, these will be divided among the members and taxed accordingly. Its activities must relate to the economic activities of its members, but may not replace them. An EEIG may not employ more than five hundred people.

An EEIG may be formed by companies and other legal entities governed by public or private law, established in accordance with the law of a Member State and having their registered office in the Community. It may be formed by natural persons carrying on an industrial, commercial, craft or agricultural activity or providing professional or other services within the Community.

The EEIG is a legal figure distinct from its founders and members: 1. It has its own Administrator (who represents it vis-à-vis third parties) and a collegiate body which approves the most important decisions: the contractors have wide discretion in structuring the EEIG’s organisation; 2. It has the legal capacity to enter into contracts with the European Commission for the purpose of obtaining funding and may participate in calls for tenders for all EU programming; 3. It can access public tenders and contracts in the various EU countries; 4. Jurisdiction over the EEIG and the manner in which it carries out its legal and administrative activities is governed by the law of the state in which the EEIG’s headquarters are established.

The EEIG, due to its increasing demand by companies around transnational activities, has become an interesting variant of cooperation in different economic fields, such as the establishment of joint purchasing and sales management, joint research and development projects, or cooperation in the area of personnel, such as the provision of training courses. It is an instrument that can be likened to our business network and is viewed positively by the European Union because it is born, develops and grows as a legal entity under transnational Community law that stimulates and implements relations between European partners (a priority objective for the EU). It has a streamlined organisation because it has no major staffing requirements and even the management itself serves as a useful and simple coordination between the parties. It allows resources to be pooled and business opportunities to be increased in synergy without these conflicting, as the entity cannot make a profit, so each actor would then have its share of the profits turned over to itself, although it could offer itself on the market under the joint EEIG banner. It is the ideal tool, therefore, for those who intend to cooperate and pool their energies at a transnational and cross-border level in order to take advantage, in an agile and stronger way, of the various opportunities that the European public programming of funds (with the addition of the NEXT GENERATION EU) and the single market with the integration of economies increasingly offer.

Our Services

The working method and philosophy of the Euro Adria Challenge aim to avoid the fragmentation of competences thanks to a synergy that enhances complementarity, grasping the added value of the contamination between actors of similar sectors, but with different connotations and territorialities. E.A.C. achieves a genuine exchange of business cultures and best practices by offering a European-level service. The services offered by the group are differentiated into four principal areas of intervention:

We are experts in the field of ecological protection and emergency response in maritime, port and lake areas. Prevention is better than cure, and our offer ranges from risk analysis to the implementation of safety measures and environmental recovery following ecological damage.

We undertake the design of port and ship works and all kinds of constructions related to structures and works in the open sea, along the coast, man-made and otherwise, and in lake areas. We adopt the latest design techniques, following European and national standards.

We are specialists in transport by sea and land, having a total fleet of over fifty vehicles. We operate throughout the Mediterranean Sea, with a specific focus on the Northern Adriatic. Contact us to find out how far we can go!

As a direct consequence of our expertise in design and transport, we can provide for the construction of any maritime or coastal structure: platforms, piers, docks, embankments and artificial and natural embankments.
