Funding & Grants
Most funding effort is spent on the wrong programmes.
Applications are expensive in senior time. The value is as much in deciding what not to apply for as in the submission itself.
The problem
There is a great deal of public money directed at molecular energy and it is fragmented across jurisdictions, programmes and objectives that do not align. Organisations apply to whatever they hear about, frame the technology against the market rather than against the programme's stated aims, and discover the eligibility problem after the effort is spent.
What we do
Map what you are actually eligible for, identify the programmes whose objectives your project genuinely serves, help assemble the consortium the call requires, and build the technical and economic case the application has to contain.
What this includes
Funding landscape
What is available for your molecule, technology and jurisdiction — and what you are realistically eligible for.
Programme identification
The specific programmes and calls worth the application effort, and the ones that are not.
Grant matching
Matching a project or technology to the programmes whose objectives it genuinely serves.
Consortium formation
Most large programmes require a consortium. Assembling a credible one is frequently the hardest part.
Partner discovery
Finding the research, industrial and infrastructure partners a call requires.
Technology positioning
Framing the technology against the programme’s stated objectives rather than against the market.
Technical & economic input
The cost modelling, technology assessment and impact analysis applications ask for.
Application support
Structuring and supporting the submission, working with your team and any specialist writers.
How it runs
- Map eligibility What your organisation, technology and jurisdiction actually qualify for.
- Shortlist The programmes worth the effort — and an explicit list of the ones that are not.
- Form the consortium Research, industrial and infrastructure partners the call requires.
- Build the case Cost modelling, technology assessment and impact analysis.
- Support the submission Structuring and reviewing, alongside your team.
Regions
Coverage depth varies by region and is stated honestly when an engagement is scoped.
Questions
Can you guarantee we will get funding?
No, and nobody can. The decision belongs to the funding body and depends on competition, policy priorities and budget. What we commit to is identifying what is worth pursuing, helping assemble a credible consortium, building the technical case — and telling you when an application is not worth your senior team's time.
Do you write the whole application?
We structure it and provide the technical, economic and positioning content. Many programmes also benefit from a specialist bid writer, and where that is the case we say so and can work alongside one.
Do you take a success fee?
Engagement structures are agreed case by case. Some funding bodies place restrictions on how application support may be remunerated, and those are respected.
What are you trying to fund?
A project, a technology development, a pilot or a consortium. The eligibility question comes first.
