Funding advice

We identify the appropriate European and national funding opportunities for your company's research and development projects. Take advantage of our project-specific advice to find the right solution for the successful implementation of your ideas. Thanks to our many years of experience with a wide range of funding programs, we can provide you with effective support in the preparation of project outlines and funding applications so that you have an above-average chance of your application being approved.

In a free initial consultation, we can analyze the potential of your project idea together and discover unexpected funding opportunities for financial implementation.

Research allowance

Since 2020, the research allowance has enriched the funding landscape. This instrument can be used to subsidize personnel and contract costs for research and development, regardless of the industry and size of your company. You can receive up to one million euros annually in the form of a tax-free tax bonus in your tax return. Projects can be applied for before, during or after the start of the project, starting in 2020, even if the project has failed.

EIC Accelerator

The EIC Accelerator is aimed at small and medium-sized companies, including start-ups, that are developing disruptive, high-risk innovations with great market potential. We assess your chances of success for grants (70% funding rate with up to €2.5 million) as well as equity capital (up to €15 million for 10-24.9% of the company shares) and support you every step of the way, from creating the project outline and motivation videos to preparing the full application and the final interview.

We are happy to help you promote your innovative development to market maturity!

Innovation networks

"You get ahead quickly on your own, but you get further with others." In line with this motto, our innovation networks connect different companies both vertically and horizontally along your value chain. Through knowledge and technology transfer within these exclusive networks, we promote new ideas, realize new projects and introduce you to potential customers.

Our network managers organize sustainable meetings with network partners and keep you up to date with news from the network, specialist presentations and the latest market developments. Regular network meetings provide you with new insights into your industry through laboratory and company tours.

Strategic partnerships

For innovation, you need experts with the right know-how at your side. This expertise is often waiting for you outside your company. We are therefore happy to put you in touch with national universities or research institutions as well as our diverse customers.

We coordinate complex coordination processes for you and support you in finding project partners and planning projects. This allows you to concentrate on your core business and advance your research, development and market launch.

Innovation workshops

Our workshops inform you about innovations and provide you with specialist and technical know-how. This will give you new ideas and help you discover new areas of demand in your sector. We offer you a platform for discussing ideas and networking with new strategic partners. This can be the basis for new projects, which we are happy to help you plan.

EurA is happy to organize workshops and events on current topics on your behalf or in your name. Thanks to our numerous contacts, we can organize suitable speakers, moderators and the entire process of online and face-to-face events for you.
