€85,000+
Average cost for complex funding applications due to admin work & consulting fees.
Weeks to Months
Typical preparation time for major grant submissions across EU and national programs.
<10% Success
Many competitive innovation programs approve fewer than one in ten applications.
Billions Unused
Large portions of EU and national funding remain unclaimed due to complexity and missed requirements.
High consulting fees
Traditional grant consultants charge tens or even hundreds of thousands for large-scale applications.
Opaque rules
Funding frameworks like ZIM or the German research tax credit require detailed technical and financial substantiation.
Missed opportunities
Many SMEs fail to apply or lose funding because requirements change, deadlines are overlooked, or evidence is incomplete.
Inefficient processes
Fragmented documentation across HR, finance, and engineering creates avoidable risk and slows innovation.
