National R&D funding

National R&D funding consulting for companies that need a country-specific route.

National R&D funding consulting for innovative companies operating in Europe: country-specific programme screening, funding strategy, eligibility review and proposal support.

Who this is for

A funding route must fit the company — not the other way around.

We assess the company, technology, market, consortium needs, readiness and financing timeline before recommending a programme.

Innovative SMEs and startups with an entity or project footprint in a European market.

Companies comparing national R&D support with Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator or Eurostars.

Teams planning product, process or technology development with genuine technical uncertainty.

International founders who need to understand which country-specific route fits their company and project.

FAQ

Questions founders ask us.

What is national R&D funding?

National R&D funding is public support managed at country or regional level for research, development and innovation projects. Rules, eligible applicants, funding rates and deadlines vary by jurisdiction and programme.

Is national funding better than Horizon Europe or Eurostars?

Not automatically. National schemes can be a better fit for a single-company project or a country-specific investment, while Horizon Europe and Eurostars can be stronger for international collaboration. The right route depends on the project and company.

Which countries do you cover?

We assess selected European markets where a credible national or regional R&D route exists and where we can verify the current rules. Country-specific opportunities are checked against primary programme sources before we recommend an application.

Can you guarantee a grant?

No. We assess fit, identify weaknesses and support a competitive application, but funding decisions remain with the relevant public authority.
