Setting up European and national co-financing projects

Project development services

We offer services for putting together European proposals – LIFE, Horizon Europe (EE, EIC), CEF, UIA, Interreg or national proposals (PIA, ADEME, etc.):

– drafting the project concept
search for partners in Europe
– drafting proposals in accordance with the formal requirements and evaluation criteria of each programme
– drawing up budgets
– administrative support

The format is specific to each project, as are the evaluation criteria. For these services, we form multidisciplinary teams with our partners to cover all areas. We have a high success rate in the bids we put together. The financing obtained for our customers exceeds EUR 50 million.

Once the project has been won, we are in a position to coordinate it.

Finding financing for companies

In recognition of the fact that SMEs are growing more slowly than their US counterparts, Europe has created the EIC (European Innovation Council) programme – formerly known as the SME Instrument. This programme provides co-financing for innovative companies with very high growth potential and a need for cash.

The 2023 budgets are EUR 613M for EIC Open, open to all themes, and EUR 524.7M for EIC Accelerator challenges on pre-defined themes.

EIC Accelerator allows to obtain: 

  • a grant of between EUR 0.5 and 2.5 M representing 70% of costs
  • A stake of up to EUR 15 million from the EIC fund in strategic deep-tech activities for Europe. The EIC fund withdraws after the company takes off independently

All SMEs can apply in 3 phases:

  1. Short continuous application: a 3′ video clip, 6 slides and answer to a questionnaire. Answer within 4 weeks.
  2. If selected, the company sets up a full application on one of the 3 dates of the year
  3. The company is invited to present its project to the EIC jury.

MT Partenaires Ingénierie helps companies put together their applications. We help SMEs to structure their projects, make growth projections, carry out market research, devise a marketing strategy in Europe and worldwide and, lastly, produce videos, presentations and write answers to questionnaires and application files.
