The Challenge
You face a bewildering maze: Horizon Europe, LIFE Programme, Digital Europe, Creative Europe, ESF+, Connecting Europe Facility, Innovation Fund—dozens of instruments with overlapping themes but fundamentally different logics. The result: Wasted resources on mismatched programmes, eligibility issues discovered post-submission, and missed opportunities in appropriate programmes you never identified.
Why It Happens
The EU's sectoral funding architecture serves distinct policy objectives managed by separate Commission DGs. What looks like thematic overlap—multiple programmes funding innovation, environment, or social initiatives—actually reflects different: Policy logics Beneficiary types Impact theories Evaluation criteria Research excellence programmes evaluate differently than market deployment instruments. Large consortium tools have different requirements than individual organisation support. Without understanding programme objectives beyond published descriptions, you can't assess genuine fit.
Our Solution
Strategic funding programme assessment matching your capacities to appropriate instruments: Analysis beyond thematic alignment—examining programme structures, evaluation priorities, consortium requirements, success factors Direct engagement with funding experts clarifying fit before you invest in full applications Strategic filtering identifying the 2-3 programmes where you have genuine competitive advantage
The Outcome
Focused resources on opportunities with realistic success potential—dramatically improving application ROI. You avoid programmes where you're technically eligible but strategically misaligned, instead targeting instruments where your specific capacities match what evaluators reward. Higher success rates. Less wasted effort.
How We Deliver
Comprehensive EU funding landscape analysis tailored to your context: Mapping programmes aligning with your activities beyond superficial thematic matching Identifying realistic pathways given your size, location, and partnership capacity Strategic recommendations on where to focus development resources The result: A strategic funding roadmap prioritising opportunities where your strengths align with programme requirements—replacing scattershot applications with targeted pursuit of appropriate instruments.
