Assessment

Screening potential opportunities in your activities and/or assets, we match them with available subsidy possibilities: VLAIO (BE), ESA (EU) … and we evaluate the eligibility of your R&D project towards success criteria to get funding.

Subsidy strategy

Defining a technical, business and product strategy for your project. We build a successful subsidy application on both the scientific and technical aspect, and assist you on the valorization perspective.

Application

Final editing of the proposal design and technical writing to ensure a timely and stress-free submission. We have a proven track record in composing high quality proposals, incorporating several technical and scientific state-of-the-art challenges.

Follow-up

Support during the evaluation process: optimizing the subsidy request with recommendations of VLAIO (BE) or ESA (EU), answering the expert evaluation questionnaire, on-site support during the negotiation with the funding agency, etc.

We made it! It wouldn’t have worked without Verhaert’s service. Thanks a lot for the last minute push to the finish.
