What our members' clients say about the role of Innovation Consultants:

​"We were able to count on the knowledge, assistance and quick feedback in all matters […] we would recommend the services of consultants, especially for SMEs, which in many cases, have no experience in public funds and have limited personnel.” 
​
Marek Ostafil, Member of the Board
​Cyberus Labs​
"Some of the various aspects we appreciated in working with innovation consultants include the technical support and coordination of all partners, their broad expertise, wide network of contacts and their knowledge about the characteristics of the call."
​
Alba Gutierrez, ​R&D Project Technician
Grupo Hispatec
"I would recommend other organisations to use the services of consultants, because faculty and researchers’ time is usually extremely limited […] thus it is quite important to seize opportunities that will hopefully result in successful funding."
​
Filippos Ververidis, ​Dean of the School of
​Agricultural Sciences
Hellenic Mediterranean University

​"Communication is fluid, there is a continuous exchange of ideas that enrich the project, a commitment to teamwork is generated, and all this results in a compact and reliable final work, as if it had been developed by a single team."

​David Ramirez, ​Founder & CEO
Increscendo

​"At the beginning we felt overwhelmed by the amount of EC rules and their complexity. It was like entering unknown territory without a map. Once we got in touch with the experts, all the worries disappeared […] We were free to concentrate on our innovation.”
​
Jean-Jacques Bois, Chief Operating Officer
Nanolike​
"Innovation funding consultants […] bridge the gap between the start-up world and the EC funding world. We recommend all deeptech SMEs to consider their support […] for high-risk, high-impact funding instruments like EIC Accelerator, EIC Transition and EIC Pathfinder."​

​Christophe Jurczak, ​Founder & Partner
​Quantonation

​"The consultancy provided tremendous support in managing all the communication and merging of files between the partners. This helped us as scientists to not waste time on issues we don't know or don't have the infrastructure to handle."
​
Hristofor Miho, Project Manager & Researcher
​University of Cordoba
"Innovation funding consultants have done an efficient job in building a diverse European consortium for the highly competitive ECSEL JU funding. The best with working with the innovation consultants has been the timely and precise way to get things done.”
​
Heikki Kettunen, Senior Manager R&D
​Valmet

​"Outsourcing a large part of the proposal work […] allowed us to focus on the core innovation idea and increase the technical excellence of the project. Consultancies […] provide valuable support services in the critical and time-constrained writing phase.” 
​
Mauri Aikio, ​Principal Scientist
VTT
​"The technical support received […] is essential for the effective and successful implementation of the project tasks and for achieving good results […] we recommend other organisations to use the services of consultants with both hands!” ​
​
Daphne Kapsala, Expert
​Agronutritional Cooperation of the
​Region Central Macedonia
​"When we decided to collaborate […] we trusted them to find the most suitable call for our idea to be submitted and guide us accordingly [...] the fact that the proposal was evaluated positively, proved to us that we made the right choice."
​
​
​Gregory Mygdakos, Business Development Manager
​AgroApps
"The innovation consultants greatly contributed to the configuration of an excellent consortium, providing their expertise and advice in order to get a final industry-oriented team, which succeeded in the achievement of a funded BBI flagship project."

Yolanda Ballesteros, Project Manager,
Socamex 
"The support we received from innovation funding consultants in preparing our application for the EU grant was instrumental. Their consultation and insight helped us secure the funding that enabled this unique consortium to be formed."


Petri Alava, Co-Founder and CEO,
Infinited Fiber Company
​
The consultants exceeded our expectations on just about every level. They went so deep in the content that they were able to advise us (the experts) on how to design things in a better way."
