Jean-Jacques Bois, Chief Operating Officer
At the beginning we felt overwhelmed by the amount of EC rules and their complexity. It was like entering unknown territory without a map. We worried about getting lost in the rules and putting our project at risk. Once we got in touch with the experts, all the worries disappeared. They offered us the practical guidance we needed during the project and solved every bureaucratic issue that came up, expected or not. Meanwhile, we were free to concentrate on our innovation.
We would definitely recommend using the services of consultants, especially for companies who are entering the world of EC grants for the first time. Innovation consultants offer something which is critical to any project, which is their know-how and practical experience. Even if one spends the time and effort to learn all the rules and regulations, it is not always clear how and when to apply them strategically to the project. Having access to this knowledge kept us from making potentially costly beginner mistakes.
