How European funding can work for U.S. companies

For many US companies, the first reaction is simple:

​How would European funding even work for us?

The answer depends on the right programme, the right project structure, and the right entry path.
In some cases, the opportunity may depend on the right partnership route. In others, a European presence or additional structure may make more sense. We help assess what is realistic before you invest time in a full application. For the right company, European funding can support research, prototyping, technical development, and validation — while also helping create a more practical path toward partnerships and market access in Europe.

Three things we assess first

01

Programme fit

Which European funding opportunities are actually worth considering for your company and technology.
02

Entry path

Whether the right route is partnership-based, structure-based, or built around a broader project setup.
03

Project logic

How to shape the opportunity so it fits real funding requirements — not just a good-looking idea on paper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a US company access European funding?
Potentially, yes - depending on the specific programme, project structure, and eligibility conditions. In many cases, US companies can participate in European projects, but direct EU funding is not automatic for every call. We assess the most viable entry path before you invest time in a full application.
Do we need a European entity?
Not always. In some cases, a partnership-based route may be enough. In others, an EU entity or additional structure may be required, depending on the programme. We assess that case by case.
What types of companies are the best fit?
Innovative US companies with real R&D activity, especially those developing new technologies, prototypes, advanced engineering solutions, or research-driven products.
What stage should we be at?
Typically startup, spin-off, or early-stage - especially when the company is moving from concept or prototype toward technical validation and commercialization.
Do you only write the application?
No. We support the full process - from funding strategy and opportunity selection to proposal development, compliance, and submission.
What size grants do you work on?
We support grant pathways ranging from early-stage awards to larger, multi-year funding opportunities.
