How we work:
1. Free consultation to assess your funding potential
2. Strategy and program selection
3. Application preparation
4. Full submission & approval support. *

Germany: Most funding programs follow a multi-stage process. You typically start by submitting a project outline (based on the funding body’s template). If approved, you move on to the full application stage.

Austria: Most funding programs follow a single-stage process, meaning you directly submit the full application without a prior project outline.
