Tammer BioLab Oy, established in 1987, is a company specialized in producing microbiological culture media and tube products containing solutions. The company supplies clinical laboratories, food and environmental laboratories, veterinary clinics, research and educational institutions, as well as industrial clients, often operating as a contract manufacturer.
The collaboration with Grants began following an initial outreach from Grants. CEO Sakari Jokiranta notes that Grants stood out from similar providers due to their strong expertise profile, solid track record, and impressive customer references.
An expert partner saves company time
Jokiranta names the ease of the application process and the seamless collaboration with Grants’ funding expert, Juho Vuononvirta, as the greatest benefits of the partnership.
“The best parts have been the effortless process and working with Juho. The projects are virtually self-driven, as Juho takes the initiative and acts essentially as a project manager; taking full responsibility for the application and ensuring the job gets done.”

Having prior experience with funding applications in both academia and the corporate sector, Jokiranta knows exactly what the process demands. Consequently, he highly values the clarity and ease provided by the Grants expert. A dedicated expert stays up to date with changing criteria and additional clarification requirements while seamlessly pulling the relevant figures for budget tables. Reporting, which Jokiranta has previously found tedious, now runs effortlessly when the primary responsibility lies with the expert.
“There are so many details to consider in these applications. Juho ensures that all essential points are highlighted. He has also been an immense help with the writing and reporting, which was incredibly easy this time around compared to my past experiences.”
An effortless application process frees up resources
Jokiranta recommends Grants’ services to companies that do not have a dedicated funding expert in-house or lack the resources to detach an internal employee to manage the application process. He emphasizes that the services suit businesses of all sizes, regardless of whether applying for public funding is a familiar practice or completely new to them.
Partnering with Grants makes the process effortless and frees up the company’s internal resources for their core focus: research and development. Grants takes care of the written content and the precise formatting of the application.
“Grants is an excellent fit for companies that don’t have a dedicated person to manage funding applications. Thanks to this collaboration, our own team can focus on what matters most, and from the company’s perspective, the application process moves forward completely hassle-free.”
