we are

innology is a consultancy project created in order to support deep-tech companies in applying for EU funds for research, development and innovation both at national and central level (i.e. applying directly to the European Commission). We provide comprehensive advisory support in the process of developing a funding strategy using EU funds, shaping the project concept, adapting it to the requirements of the selected grant scheme, preparing the application file and accounting for the funding granted.
