Urska Faller – Founder & Visionary of VortexNationTribe
With over two decades of experience in securing non-repayable funds, I began my journey at the inception of Slovenia's integration into the EU funding framework. My early contributions included shaping policies and directives for the implementation of EU funds in Slovenia. Subsequently, I established the first consultancy in the country dedicated to advising and drafting applications for grants. Initially focusing on local governmental projects, we expanded our expertise to manage multi-million euro initiatives under EU programmes such as Horizon, Interreg, and LIFE, fostering international collaborations that have led to impactful, globally recognized projects.
Driven by a passion to democratize access to funding, I founded VortexNationTribe two years ago. This community serves as a hub for entrepreneurs, innovators, and NGOs, aiming to deepen their understanding of grant opportunities and enhance the quality of their applications. VortexNationTribe is more than just a knowledge-sharing platform; it's a vibrant international community committed to raising awareness about non-repayable funds, fostering connections, sharing experiences, and co-creating projects with global impact. We believe in the power of collective growth—because sharing is caring.
