Open calls
Grants from €30,000, open right now.
Verified against the official call documents, and applied for you, start to submission.
Small grants, big programmes, short routes.
EU programmes hand part of their budget onward through open calls run by funded projects: cascade funding. For an SME that means €30,000-500,000, applied for as a single company, no consortium, decided in months rather than years.
One honest correction, before you pick a call.
Some calls cover the full cost. Others fund at most half and expect you to find the rest, and that own contribution is the condition most companies fail on. The award is also always at the discretion of the funding body. We tell you where you actually stand before you spend a euro, including when the honest answer is that a call is not worth your time.
Open now.

Wondering whether a specific call fits you?
Send us the call and a few facts about your company. We check it against the call's actual guidelines, not the theme label, and tell you in writing whether it is worth pursuing. Free, no obligation.

No cost, no account, no sales call. You receive a written strategy report — not a scorecard: the call that fits (or an honest “not yet”), your realistic position, and exactly what a winning bid would take.
Answer a short, structured questionnaire. The same direct, factual writing you would get if we worked together.
Prefer your own language? Start the intake in Dutch, French, German, Spanish or Portuguese — we write your Match Report and the application in English.

The calls worth knowing about, once a week.
Cascade calls are not published in one place. Each consortium announces on its own project website, and aggregators run weeks behind. We monitor the sources directly and send what we find, with our own reading of who it actually fits. No pitch, and one reply takes you off the list, the same day.
