Our strategy | Bee Granted

Under Non-Disclosure Agreement if required.

Goals:

1. To assess or develop innovative concepts as backbones for new projects.

2. To fully align on the level of service to be provided.

- intake (video) call to design potential concepts and analyze the innovation;

- discuss project goals and define deliverable(s);

- SME status confirmation (if needed);

- Technology Readiness Level assessment (if needed);

- assess fit with various subsidies (e.g. ERC Proof of Concept, EIC Transition, Eurostars, etc.);

- overview of administrative dossier;

- expectations, preferred way of working and next steps.

Outcome: Go/no-go decision on project. If no-go, we provide advice on how to fill any remaining gaps that prevent progress to the next stage.

Goal:

As this stage is specific to subsidies, to support the submission process and add strategic value.

- facilitate brainstorming and mind mapping sessions to improve the concept identified in stage 1;

- consortium building (for multi-partner subsidies);

- start-to-end proposal preparation, including clear visualizations;

- perform preliminary market research (for specific subsidies, e.g. ERC Proof of Concept or EIC Transition);

- proposal submission (no deadline day hassle);

- budget planning;

- streamlined work plan design;

- optimized project management structure (based on cutting edge frameworks, such as Agile or Lean).

Outcome: Submitted subsidy application.

Goal:

As this stage is specific to subsidies, to reduce the administrative burden both when preparing applications and after the projects are granted.

- provide templates (included in the 'Build' stage);

- coordinate letters of support (included in the 'Build' stage);

- preparation of the 'Description of the Action' document;

- support in the grant agreement preparation process.

Outcome: Signed Grant Agreement.

Goal:

To implement radically new technologies through the creation of new business ventures or the expansion of existing ones.

- set-up partnership strategy;

- market research/market niche identification;

- build business case and corporate vision;

- create long-term funding strategy (both dilutive and non-dilutive);

- interim management through defined milestones;

- seed financing (in exceptional cases), exclusively for spin-offs that originate from projects developed by Bee Granted.

Outcome: Long-term partnership towards creating impact for various stakeholders.
