Most consultancies edit your proposal. We design the project.
Companies rarely lose international R&D funding because the writing was weak. They lose because the project was never designed to be fundable — partners assembled by convenience, novelty assumed rather than argued, claims never stress-tested before a reviewer saw them.
The record
Across Eurostars, Eureka Era-Net, Innosuisse, RVO, TÜBİTAK and NRC-IRAP programmes since 2019.
What We Do
Three services, in the order they actually happen. Most clients arrive asking for the third and discover they needed the first.
Concept Origination
We design the R&D project itself — the scientific uncertainty, the innovation claim, the exploitation pathway, and the reason a reviewer should fund it rather than dismiss it as applied engineering.
Consortium Architecture
We identify partners whose capabilities genuinely complement each other, verify that complementarity against what they actually build, and structure roles so that no partner is force-fitted to fill a slot.
Proposal & Post-Award Execution
Work packages, budgets built to each authority's real rates, IP governance and submission — then, once funded, technical integration and coordination across the consortium as the project actually runs.
How a Consortium Gets Built
Read the real capabilities
Not the marketing claims. What does each candidate actually ship, to which customers, protected by what IP? A company mapping roads for autonomous vehicles is not a utility-asset company, however similar the pitch decks look.
Find the seam
The fundable project lives in the gap between partners — where one company's output becomes an input another has never had. That gap is where real scientific uncertainty sits, and it is what reviewers score.
Stress-test before a reviewer does
If a partner is stretched to fit, we say so and find a better one. If a novelty claim contradicts what the consortium actually does, we rewrite it. Weak links are cheaper to fix now than at evaluation.
Structure it against the real rules
National funding rates, budget ceilings, subcontracting caps and eligibility conditions differ by country and change between calls. We verify them per partner, per call — never from memory.
Engagement Model
Zero upfront cost | 100% success-aligned
We take on concept development, partner search and proposal work at our own risk. That is only sustainable if we are selective — which is exactly why our assessment is candid before any work begins.
Start a Conversation
Bring a technology and a rough ambition. You will leave the first call with an honest read on whether an international consortium is the right vehicle — including when it is not. No fee, no obligation.
