2. Conducting training preparation for the interview with the expert panel.
3. Financial settlement of the granted grants.
Based on assumptions provided by the client, application documentation was prepared, consisting of an extensive application containing elements such as an analysis of technological advantages along with an R&D work plan, innovation analysis, market analysis, profitability analysis, human and technical potential analysis, and budget. Based on the prepared documentation, NIWA received a decision to award the full requested grant amount. This is already the fourth co-funded project we have advised on, all completed successfully, giving us a 100% success rate in applying for EU funds for this client.
We have been cooperating with innology since 2019 in the area of servicing projects funded by EU grants. To date, we have completed 3 R&D projects under POIR Fast Track and are in the process of implementing a fourth project under FENG SMART Path. innology handles both the acquisition and settlement of co-financing, having so far secured PLN 11,242,255.96 in funding for us. All three Fast Track projects have already been completed and settled correctly — NCBR accepted the final reports and disbursed all requested co-financing tranches. We currently cooperate with innology on the settlement of an R&D project under the SMART Path program. We can consistently count on professional service and commitment to the tasks entrusted. Summarizing our cooperation to date, innology demonstrated 100% success in acquiring co-financing, securing grants for 4 R&D projects, of which 2 received maximum scores and ranked 1st on the ranking list, and 100% success in grant settlement, settling 3 projects in full amounts without financial corrections."
