Three kinds of European money, three different games.

Open calls: cascade funding

Large EU programmes pass part of their budget onward through smaller open calls, aimed straight at SMEs: €30,000-500,000 per company, no consortium to build, decided in months. The catch is that everything rides on one document, judged against criteria most applicants never read.

That document is our product. You bring the facts, we write the application to the standard the evaluators reward, and we take it with you all the way to the submit button.

See the open calls

Joint R&D: one project, two countries

Between the open calls and the big rounds sits a third kind of European money: joint transnational R&D. You bring a partner in another country, you apply together to one call, and the funding reaches each of you through your own national agency. Eurostars is the main one, and roughly one in five applications is funded — against one in fifteen at the EIC.

The difficulty is structural, not technical. The application has to hold up as one project across two budgets, two national rule sets and two sets of accounts. That is the document we write.

See the Joint R&D Track

Scale-up Track: €5-30M rounds

Above the open calls sits a different game. No single EU instrument hands one company €5-30M as a grant; the realistic route is a stack of two to four instruments, grant plus equity plus debt, in an order that has to be planned before the first application is written.

We design that architecture and write the grant layers. It starts with a free written Scale Report of your position.

See the Scale-up Track

Three steps, no meetings.

01

You tell us the facts.

One structured questionnaire: your technology, your numbers, your team. No calls, no workshops. If an answer is thin, we ask targeted follow-ups in writing.

02

We write the document.

The application on the open calls and the Joint R&D Track, the Blueprint on the Scale-up Track. Evidence-based, mapped to the programme's exact evaluation criteria, stress-tested against how the assessors actually score. Every factual claim comes from you.

03

You review, then it goes in.

You see a finished application, not a template. You stay the applicant everywhere — that is how the portals are built — and we walk the submission through with you, handling the portal mechanics wherever you delegate access. On the Joint R&D Track the consortium files on the Eureka platform itself, and nothing can be changed after that, so the final check happens before you press send.

Why the document holds up.

Evidence-led drafting

Where a claim has no evidence behind it, we do not make the claim. Funding bodies increasingly reject applications that read as machine-written and unsupported.

Evaluator simulation

Before you see it, every application is scored the way the panel will score it, against the call's own criteria and the failure patterns we have catalogued.

Verification discipline

Eligibility, scope, character and page limits, the form fields that quietly decide outcomes: checked, not assumed.

We know what wins, because we have taken winners apart.

On the open calls we have analysed funded applications in your sector and mapped what the evaluators reward: the evidence, the structure, the framing. That analysis goes into every application we write there. On the other two routes we work from the programme’s own published evaluation criteria and assessor guidance, and we say so rather than implying a track record we have not built yet.

One fixed price, agreed before we start.

On the open calls and the Joint R&D Track there is no success fee and no percentage of your grant. The Scale-up Track is fixed-price too, with one exception we state up front: 2.5% on an awarded grant component, with the Blueprint price deducted in full. On all three routes you answer questions and we produce the documents.

Every sector, one standard.

On the open-call route we work in five sectors where cascade funding is active and where the evaluation rewards exactly what we do well: precise, evidence-led technical writing. We also take on selected high-fit calls beyond them. The Joint R&D and Scale-up Tracks are not sector-bound — there it is the instrument that decides, not the field.

Digital & Cyber

Cybersecurity, digital resilience, and the calls that fund them. We've taken funded applications in this space apart and know what the evaluators reward, from threat-model rigour to compliance framing (CRA, NIS2) that reads as competence, not box-ticking.

CRA · NIS2 · ECCC · Digital Europe

AI, Data & Smart Industry

AI, data solutions, and smart-industry applications, from digital twins to industrial automation. The calls here score technical novelty, evidence, and credible impact hard. We write to that bar, with your measured results doing the talking.

EDIH · Digital twins · Horizon Cluster 4

CleanTech

Clean technology with a digital core: energy, circularity, optimisation. We frame your environmental impact in the language the evaluators score against, backed by your own numbers, never invented ones.

Energy · Circularity · Horizon Cluster 5

Health & Life Sciences

Digital health, medtech, biotech and diagnostics. This is where the open calls pay out most: the median health call is the largest of any sector we work in, and several are single-company, so there is no consortium to assemble. What they do demand is evidence of clinical or market validation, framed the way the assessors weigh it.

EIT Health · Digital health · Medtech · Diagnostics

Defence & Dual-Use

Dual-use technology, with drones and counter-drone work explicitly in scope. The first calls are live today through the Euroclusters track, and the European Defence Fund opened cascade funding across all its topics in its 2026 work programme — so this moves from a handful of calls to a real segment over the next two years. Eligibility here is stricter than elsewhere: control of the company matters as much as the technology.

Selected calls beyond our core sectors

What wins a cascade application is evidence-led writing mapped to the evaluation criteria — and that travels across domains. When a call outside our core sectors is a strong fit, we take it on, selectively. Current examples: agri-food and bioeconomy innovation (the GRAPPA Innovation Open Call) and rural innovation replication (SMART ERA). If your call rewards rigorous technical writing, ask — we’ll tell you honestly whether we can write you a winning bid.

Agri-food · Bioeconomy · Rural innovation

Where we work, and where we reach.

Every call defines its own eligible countries, and most fund SMEs across all EU-27 and Horizon Europe associated countries. We work fully async and deliver in English, so if your country is eligible for the call, we can write for you. Full stop.

Map of Western Europe. Highlighted: the seven markets where the intake is available in the local language.

The highlighted markets show one thing only: where the intake is available in your own language. Eligibility is set by each call, and we write for eligible companies across all EU-27 and associated countries.

Intake also available in your language

  • Netherlands
  • Germany
  • Belgium

Application

One call, applied for you

€2,450–8,950

One call, applied for you, start to finish. You get:

  • The complete application text, written from your facts and mapped to the call’s own evaluation criteria
  • An evaluator simulation before anything is submitted: your application scored the way the panel will score it
  • Two revision rounds on your review
  • Submission prepared and walked through with you — the portal mechanics and the form fields that quietly decide outcomes. You stay the applicant and press submit; that is how the portals are built

The fee follows the size of the call, not your grant — between roughly 2% and 4% of what the call pays out, and the bigger the call the smaller the share. Fixed before we start:

Calls up to €60,000
€2,450
€60,000 – €150,000
€3,950
€150,000 – €250,000
€5,950
€250,000 – €500,000
€8,950

Applying for a second call in parallel: €1,500 on top — the price of one more application’s work. Only for genuinely distinct, non-overlapping calls, and only when your stated capacity can deliver them if awarded. Calls above €500,000 are scoped individually, on request.

You don’t pick blind. Your free first step — whichever route you start on — recommends what fits and explains why. The recommendation is ours; the choice stays yours.

All prices are business-to-business and exclude VAT. EU businesses with a valid VAT number are invoiced under the reverse-charge scheme and pay the amount shown; Dutch VAT is added only where the law requires it.

Questions, answered plainly.

Which countries do you work in?

Wherever the call reaches. Every call defines its own eligible countries, and most cover all EU-27 and Horizon Europe associated countries: if your country is eligible for the call, we can write for you. In the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Spain and Portugal you can also fill in the intake in your own language.

When do I pay?

For open-call applications: one fixed fee, set by the size of the call and agreed before we start, with no success fee and no percentage of your grant. A Joint R&D application starts at €9,950 on the same terms — no fee on your grant. That price covers a two-partner consortium, which is what Eurostars and most joint programmes require; each partner above two adds €2,500, because every extra partner means an extra budget, an extra work package and an extra alignment round. A three-party consortium is €12,450. On the Scale-up Track the Scale Report is free and the Blueprint is a fixed price, with one exception stated up front: a 2.5% success fee on the grant component only, from which the Blueprint price is deducted in full. Every first step — Match Report, Joint Report, Scale Report — is free.

What if I don't win?

You owe nothing beyond the fee you already agreed. Award is always at the discretion of the funding body, and we tell you your realistic odds before you commit — including when the honest answer is that this call is not worth your time.

Can I apply for several calls at once?

Yes, when the calls are genuinely distinct and non-overlapping and your capacity can deliver them if awarded. Each application is priced by the size of its own call; every additional application in parallel adds €1,500.

Can I see a sample report first?

No. Reports are confidential to each client. Your own first one is the sample — a Match Report, Joint Report or Scale Report depending on the route — and it is free and honest about your fit.
