What we do

Securing EU funding requires much more than writing an application. Successful projects are built through strategic planning, strong partnerships and a clear understanding of funding requirements.

Our team supports clients with:

  • Horizon Europe applications
  • EIC Accelerator applications
  • Eurostars applications
  • Consortium building and partner search
  • Funding strategy and opportunity identification
  • Project concept development
  • Budget preparation
  • Proposal coordination and writing
  • Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP)
  • Consortium Agreement support
  • Project launch and governance planning

Grants Funding Oy supports clients throughout the entire funding journey, helping build competitive consortia, prepare strong applications and support project coordination after funding decisions.

Before funding and after funding

One of the biggest challenges in European funding is that the work does not stop when the application is submitted. That is why our service model covers both the application phase and the project launch phase.

Before funding

We help organisations:

  • Analyse project ideas against funding call requirements
  • Develop project concepts and value propositions
  • Build international consortia
  • Identify and engage suitable partners
  • Coordinate proposal preparation
  • Prepare budgets and work plans
  • Manage the complete application process

After funding

Once funding has been secured, we can continue supporting the consortium through:

  • Grant Agreement Preparation
  • Partner coordination
  • Project governance setup
  • Reporting structure development
  • Kick-off preparation and project launch
