A funding consultancy identifies suitable public funding programmes for a project, prepares the application and supports negotiations with the funding body until the funding agreement is finalised. This is complemented by project management, i.e. ensuring that all reporting and documentation requirements are met. Engaging a funding consultancy is particularly worthwhile when a project involves a significant investment, there are several programmes to choose from, or the formal requirements are complex – because there are several thousand public funding programmes in Germany, and many times that number across Europe, which vary considerably in terms of eligibility criteria and funding levels. The Funding Team, with offices in Munich, Brussels and Berlin, filters out the most promising instruments for a project from this vast array and has so far supported over 250 funded projects with a total value of over 500 million euros.
