R&D, Innovation and Artificial Intelligence Projects

We help companies structure research, experimental development (R&D), innovation and artificial intelligence projects so that they meet funders’ requirements and have a clear commercial perspective. We assess whether the activity meets R&D criteria, justify novelty and the technology readiness level, help find a research partner and prepare the application. You receive a clear project structure, an activity plan and a scientific and technical justification that evaluators will understand.

Discuss the project

Who this is for

Innovative companies and start-ups
Industrial companies implementing AI and digitalisation solutions
Companies cooperating with research institutions

What we do and what you get

  • Justifying the logic and novelty of R&D activities
  • Assessing the technology readiness level (TRL)
  • Structuring AI and digitalisation projects
  • Analysis of risks and uncertainties
  • Building partnerships with research and higher-education institutions
  • Preparing applications for R&D and innovation instruments

How the process works

01

We assess how well the idea meets R&D criteria

02

We shape the project structure and activity plan

03

We prepare the application and the scientific and technical justification

04

We support the project through the evaluation and implementation stages

What to keep in mind

  • Research and experimental development are funded differently. Research and experimental development often receive different support intensities, so the activities must be clearly separated.
  • Uncertainty must be named. Evaluators check which technical or scientific question has no known solution today. A product that is merely new on the market is not yet R&D.
  • Intellectual property. When working with a research partner, agree in advance who will own the results and how they will be used.
  • Commercialisation plan. Funders increasingly assess not only development but also the path to market.

Examples of our experience

In 2024, for a construction company, we prepared an R&D project (developing a high-efficiency neutraliser of odour and heavy metal pollution, covering catalysis, adsorption, chemical oxidation and low-temperature plasma discharge processes). We carried out an R&D eligibility and TRL assessment, formed a partnership with a research institution and prepared the application under the InoBranda measure.

In 2024, for an IT company, we prepared an R&D project (developing a remote teledermatology system for identifying skin allergens). We carried out an R&D eligibility and TRL assessment, formed a partnership with a research institution and prepared the application under the InoBranda measure.

What affects duration and price

The duration and price depend on the instrument, the technological complexity of the project, whether a research partner has to be found, how well the scientific and technical description is prepared and the scope of the application. We provide exact terms after an initial assessment.

Frequently asked questions

How to get started

Briefly describe the technology or idea, the problem it solves and how far it has progressed. We will assess its fit with R&D criteria and suitable funding instruments.
