Which programs fit my idea – and how do I win them over?

GrantPilot

Welcome to the GrantCockpit

Our GrantPilot does not fly blind – he steers with precision. And for this, it needs a reliable instrument: the GrantCockpit. Take a seat in the co-pilot’s seat, keep an eye on the course of your funding opportunities and steer your innovation safely through the funding jungle.

What the GrantCockpit can do: It clearly shows you the most relevant funding programs along the technology readiness levels (TRLs). You can see at a glance:

How high the grants per program can be
How large the program budgets are
Who promotes – whether locally, nationally or at EU level

This allows you to quickly find the best funding landing sites for your innovation.

Click on a program and you will be redirected to further information or directly to the program’s website.

Navigation aid

Funding database

The GrantCockpit is good – but not everything. Because the funding sky is wide: there are hundreds of different programs – from local initiatives to federal programs to EU funding. To ensure that our GrantPilot doesn’t overlook any opportunities, he also uses one of his favorite navigation aids:

-> The funding database of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy

It is considered one of the most complete overviews of funding programs in Germany – and provides up-to-date information on grants, loans and development loans. We integrate it directly – so that you can browse for further funding landing sites at any time.

Network management

Together with you, we identify the key players required for the successful commercialization of your innovation: friendly customers, innovative suppliers, creative research partners. Building on this, we design consortia and innovation networks – e.g. for Horizon Europe, EIC Pathfinder or the German ZIM program, which also involves international partners.

We take over the entire management of the network: from the application to the coordination to the commercial exploitation:

Identify relevant partners: Customers, suppliers, research – appropriate to technology and target market
Building and managing consortia: Complete management including communication, reporting and moderation
Ensure commercialization: preparation of market analyses, exploitation strategies and financial plans
