Why Horizon Europe Grants Seem Out of Reach

Is the EU Funding Process Holding Your Innovation Back?

Securing EU grants is complex, competitive, and time-consuming. Between aligning your project with eligibility criteria, forging partnerships, and tackling the multi-stage submission process, even the most skilled R&D teams struggle to keep up, losing funding opportunities.

Sound familiar?

You´re stretched thin,

lacking the time and resources to craft your proposal.

Finding the right partners can be elusive.

But without a consortium, you’re stuck.

Bureaucracy drains your time,

stealing focus from your real work, innovation.

You feel overwhelmed by uncertainty:

Is your project strong enough to win funding?

Meanwhile, the competition for EU grants is fiercer than ever, with over 11,000 submissions in 2024 alone.

Common Queries from Research Centres and Innovators

Your EU Funding Questions Answered

What does your consultancy service include?

Our consultancy offers hands-on support at every stage of your Horizon Europe funding application. Our team of 3 seasoned professionals will guide you in:

  • Identifying suitable funding opportunities
  • Building a competitive consortium
  • Crafting a compelling proposal and
  • Negotiating your grant agreement.

From start to finish, we’re with you every step of the way.

I´m concerned about the cost. How can I be sure this is a worthwhile investment?

It´s completely understandable! Applying for Horizon Europe funding is a serious investment, and you want to make sure it pays off.

We help you maximise your return by strengthening your application, boosting your chances of success, and getting your research funded faster.

Want to see how the numbers add up? Let´s talk!

 

What happens if I don´t get the funding?

We believe in second chances. If your proposal isn’t successful, we´ll analyse the feedback, refine your proposal, and target new funding opportunities. With new calls opening regularly, we can work with you to develop the best strategy for your next submission.

 

Do I need to already have partners for Horizon Europe?

Not at all! Building a strong consortium is a core part of our service. We´ll connect you with the most suitable partners from our network of over 2,000 RTOs, large industrial companies, and associations. We´re also happy to consider any potential collaborators you bring to the table.

What makes The Innovation Corner different from other consultants?

We´re not a large agency churning out proposals. We take a selective approach, partnering with clients on projects where we know we can make a real difference. This means more personalised support, more strategic guidance, and ultimately, a greater chance of securing funding for your research.
