Navigating Financing of Innovation with Privanova’s Access to Funding Services
The European Union (EU) offers a wealth of funding opportunities to support businesses of all sizes, from startups to established corporations, such as Horizon Europe. By tapping into these resources, you can fuel your growth, enhance your market position, and drive positive change.
There are two different types: direct funding and indirect funding.
Direct funding
You can apply for grants and contracts managed by the European Commission on the Funding and Tenders portal or the European Institute of Innovation & Technology website.
Grants
Grants are given to specific projects that relate to EU policies, usually following a public announcement known as a call for proposals.
Contracts
Contracts are issued by EU institutions to buy services, goods or work that they need for their operations – such as studies, training, conference organisation or IT equipment.
Indirect funding
Indirect funding is managed by national and regional authorities and comprises nearly 80% of the EU budget, through the European Structural and Investment Funds or the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
Privanova's tailored innovation management services can help you navigate the complex EU funding landscape, from identifying the right opportunities to building a strong consortium to implementing your projects successfully.
The Benefits of EU Funding
The European Union (EU) offers a wealth of funding opportunities that can propel your business to new heights. From substantial financial resources to support innovative projects, to a diverse range of funding programs tailored to various sectors and stages, EU funding can reduce reliance on traditional sources and mitigate financial risk.
Additionally, by associating your business with EU-backed initiatives, you can enhance your reputation, attract new customers and investors, and expand your market presence through international collaborations and knowledge exchange.
