Innovation Funding Navigator

From innovation concept to funding-ready project.

A structured first development of your innovation idea into a potential EU-funded project — from funding programme orientation and consortium structure to a concrete development plan for your proposal.

01 Why the Navigator Beyond the call search

More than finding the right call for proposals.

Searching for a suitable call is only the beginning. Before you invest in a proposal, you need clear answers to four questions:

Question 01

Is the innovation idea eligible for funding?

Question 02

Can it be implemented as a consortium?

Question 03

Which partners are still missing?

Question 04

How does the idea become a convincing proposal?

The Innovation Funding Navigator answers exactly these questions — before you commit time and budget to a full application.

03 Thematic specialisation AI · Technology · Society

Where our innovation expertise goes deep

We focus on four innovation fields — so your project is assessed by people who understand the technology and its context.

01

AI & Emerging Technologies

AI tech, IoT, data-driven systems and intelligent applications.

02

AI for Social Impact

AI applications with societal benefit: inclusion, education and social innovation.

03

Behavioral Tech & Culture

Human–technology interaction, behavioural science, digital culture and user-centred innovation.

04

Trustworthy AI & AI Safety

Trustworthy AI, AI safety, bias reduction, transparency and responsible AI systems.

Depending on the call, these fields can fall under different funding logics — such as research and innovation, digital transformation or societal challenges. That is why every funding recommendation is based on a call that actually fits.
