Austrian funding agencies

Our consultants have been supporting companies in business development, market research and financial/funding topics for more than a decade.

We will also be happy to support you in the development of a professional business model/plan, in finding the best suited funding option(s) for you, in performing related market surveys and in writing project proposals. We take administrative work off your hands, so you can focus on your core competences.

Once the funding is granted, we can also support you in negotiations, as well as in financial and project controlling during the running project. At the time of project reporting and at the end of the project, we are happy to support you in preparation of project reports. During and after the project, we suggest new funding possibilities and follow the same procedure.
