Some of this can be part-funded

We're not funding consultants, and we don't file applications. But we know which programmes still cover software in Romania and Italy, and we'll shape a project so it fits one — or tell you plainly that none of them do.

Last checked: 17 August 2026

What we do, and what we don't

  • Scope the project so it matches an eligible call
  • Write the technical part your consultant needs
  • Deliver on the timeline the funding requires
  • Document the work for the reporting
  • We don't assess your eligibility — your accountant or funding consultant does
  • We don't submit applications on your behalf
  • We don't promise you'll be approved
  • We never make the funding a reason to build something you don't need

This page is information, not advice. Funding rules change often and eligibility depends on your company, your sector and the specific call. Check with your accountant or a funding consultant before committing to anything — and if what you read here is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.

Let's find out what's worth building.
