Knowledge doesn’t come free
Knowledge, research and international cooperation are crucial in your industry. Research, particularly in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, requires enormous investments and projects tend to run for very long periods. Biotech companies must be extremely flexible and creative to generate sufficient money to get their ideas to market. International cooperation is essential because such large investments can only be recouped through marketing in a number of countries.
Subsidies can be a valuable source of funding, complementing other sources such as investments by venture capital companies. However subsidies have another great advantage: they force you to focus. Those who provide subsidies will be constantly asking you what the core of your research is, and what concrete product development it is intended to deliver. That may sound elementary, but especially with such expensive and time-consuming processes, it is often very difficult to maintain such a focus.
Sound projects are essential
Subsidies generate money and provide focus. But which scheme is best? And how can you ensure that your subsidy application will succeed? More and more companies are competing for the same funding. The competition is tough, whether you are applying for funding from Marie Curie, EuroTrans-Bio, FP7 Health, the Center for Translational Molecular Medicine or the Biomedical Materials programme. To succeed, a strong proposal submitted to the right subsidy scheme is essential.
Standing in your shoes
Our expertise enables us to optimise your chance of getting a subsidy. In fact, our track record shows that we can do this better than anyone else. Our Life Sciences & Health team consists of molecular and medical biologists, biotechnologists, pharmacists and biochemists. So we can see the issues from your point of view and contribute to your thinking, helping you choose the best approach for the project. Our focus on subsidy management, both here and in the rest of Europe, results in a good match between your ambitions and the more than 20,000 subsidy schemes . This means we create more subsidy opportunities. For example, did you know that you can get a subsidy for testing a prototype in partnership with another organisation? The expert input from our subsidy team ensures that you receive optimal support during the whole subsidy process.
