I am a strategy and subsidy expert with over 30 years of hands-on experience helping companies secure European and national funding. From fledgling start-ups with no legal entity yet, to mid-sized firms and global multinationals, I’ve guided clients across the spectrum. My work spans local players and international teams alike, always grounded in one clear purpose: turning innovative ideas into funded, impactful projects. I specialise in: Crafting high-level innovation strategies that align business goals with funding windows. Building compelling subsidy dossiers—not just for compliance, but to persuade evaluators and unlock meaningful support. Navigating complex international programmes (EU, regional, national) and adapting to diverse partner structures and grant criteria. Advising both start-ups taking their first steps and large organisations scaling innovation globally. Whether you’re a founder, R&D lead or strategic partner, I bring clarity, insight and results.Over the years, I have successfully supported a wide range of innovation-driven clients — from first-time entrepreneurs and young researchers starting their journey, to experienced professionals launching new ventures after retirement. I have worked with ambitious scale-ups ready to take their innovation to the next level and with large companies seeking to expand their innovation portfolio to stay competitive — whether through new products or optimized production processes. In addition, I collaborate with universities and research institutes aiming to strengthen their EU project portfolio, allowing them to focus on delivering impactful innovation rather than getting lost in administrative complexity. These diverse experiences give me a broad perspective on the innovation landscape and a solid understanding of what it takes to transform great ideas into successful and well-funded projects.
