Preview with illustrative figures, as of June 2026. Tap any fold to open the read-alone detail.
Company age
Startup
under 3y
Young SME
3–5y
Established
5y+
Age is the first filter — you sit inside every young-innovator scheme. A couple of calls want two years of audited accounts; you cleared that line this year, so they open too.
Revenue and experience
Comfortable on small-to-medium calls
Your revenue supports the co-financing that small-to-medium grants ask for — typically 30% to 50% of project cost. Large calls would stretch the cash-flow.
First-timer — credibility still to build
As a first grant applicant, evaluators scrutinise "capacity to deliver" hardest — it is the number-one reason good projects lose points. That is exactly where we over-build the proposal.
Size
Small enterprise — SME-eligible
Headcount — 12 people — well under the 250 cap
Turnover — under €10M — inside the €50M ceiling
Balance sheet — under the €43M ceiling
You draw the higher SME co-funding rate — up to 70% — that larger firms cannot claim. The whole SME-only catalogue is open to you.
Size is a hard gate, and you are well inside it — small enterprise, the rate that pays best.

Matched call types
Deployment and scale-up calls, circular-economy and green-logistics instruments.
Tap a pin to switch product
This is the most important axis. Grant money exists precisely where private capital will not go yet — and both your lines sit there. We will not enter a deployment call expecting full maturity with the earlier-stage material.
Scale
Small
Recommended€25K–€100K
Light reporting, modest co-finance, fast to run.
Medium
Recommended€100K–€500K
Moderate reporting, real co-finance, manageable on your cash-flow.
Large
Comes next€2M–€5M
Heavy reporting and audit, large co-finance, sustained cash-flow.
Comes next — once you have delivered one grant and the prize clearly justifies the coordination load.
A small-to-medium grant is winnable and builds the track record evaluators reward. A large project would outrun your current capacity to deliver and co-finance — that comes next, once you have one win behind you.
Consortium
Solo national calls for now
Solo calls let you move fast and own the outcome. A multi-country consortium is a real coordination load — we build one only when the prize clearly justifies it, and you would enter as a partner, not the coordinator.
If a consortium ever makes sense, your role
Coordinator
Not yetNot for a first-timer — the admin would swamp a 12-person team.
Partner
RecommendedThe right entry role — real funding, contained load.
Subcontractor
Not yetLightest, but no stake in the outcome or the IP — not where we would aim you.
