General information
- Short Summary
- A Spain-based consultancy specialised in EU public funding and private fundraising advisory, offers end-to-end support to innovative technology companies and research organisations. Services cover funding programmes fit analysis, partner search, consortium building, proposal writing, project management and investor relations. Commercial agreements with technical assistance and services agreements are sought with technology developers, start-ups, and research institutions.
- Full Description
-
The offering party is a consultancy based in Madrid, Spain, active in public and private funding advisory for innovation-driven organisations, with a team of engineers, PhDs and deep-tech professionals of 20+ nationalities.
Innovative companies and research institutions developing disruptive technologies often struggle to bring projects to market, as the funding gap between research and market-ready products causes many project failures. Public funding programmes, such as those managed by the European Commission, offer non-dilutive capital, but accessing them requires navigating competitive procedures, building multi-country partnerships and meeting strict evaluation criteria. Many organisations attempt this independently, or with generalist advisors lacking specific programme experience, resulting in misaligned proposals or missed opportunities.
The offered service covers the pre-award phase (fit analysis, programme identification, partner search, consortium consolidation, proposal writing, business plan and annex preparation) and the post-award phase (contract negotiation, project management, dissemination). A complementary offering addresses private capital needs (investor readiness, outreach, due diligence) and internationalisation support (market analysis, partner introductions).
Cooperation is sought through commercial agreements with technical assistance and services agreements, under which the offering party provides advisory and operational support while the partner retains ownership and leadership of its project. Cooperation begins with an assessment of the partner's case against available funding opportunities, followed by tailored support through the relevant stages of the funding cycle. - Advantages and Innovations

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
1. Prospective coordinators. This partner type has typically identified a specific European Union (EU) funding call under a collaborative programme (such as a Horizon Europe cluster or mission call) and intends to lead, or is considering leading, a project consortium, but requires external support to prepare a competitive application and manage the resulting project. Tasks expected from this partner include: sharing the project concept, target call and current partnership status at an early stage so that a fit analysis can be carried out, participating in the definition of the consortium composition and work plan, providing the technical and scientific input needed for proposal sections that fall within the coordinator's own field of expertise, and remaining the main point of contact throughout proposal preparation and, when the project is awarded, throughout project implementation. The offering party would in turn provide consortium-building support, proposal writing and annex preparation, and post-award project management and dissemination support, working under a services agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance in which the coordinating partner retains full ownership and scientific leadership of the project.
2. Deep-tech start-ups and SMEs seeking public and, where relevant, private funding to advance a technology from an early development stage toward market deployment. Tasks expected from this partner include: providing a clear description of the technology, its development stage and the intended application, so that suitable funding programmes can be identified, contributing to the preparation of the business case, market analysis and, where applicable, intellectual property strategy sections of the proposal, and engaging in a structured, iterative review process during proposal drafting. Where the sought funding involves a mix of public grants and private capital, this partner type would also be expected to take part in investor-readiness preparation. Cooperation is envisaged through a service agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance, with the offering party acting as an external advisory.
In both cases, the partner sought should be at a stage where the underlying technology, project concept or business case is sufficiently defined to be matched against funding programme eligibility and evaluation criteria. - Type and Size of Partner
