How we can help?

Identifying and successfully applying for suitable incentives on qualifying R&D and sustainability activities can be challenging for businesses of all sizes. This coupled with the increasing demand for robust R&D processes, supporting technical reports, as well as risk of regulatory scrutiny, means that the administrative burden on claimants is growing.

• Are you looking for alternatives to usual financing means like grant schemes proposed by countries, regions and other institutions (EU) across the world?

• Are you investigating possibilities allowing your company not to downsize your annual investment plan while lowering costs?

• Are you eager to develop new breakthrough solutions for your clients but the high initial investments or financial/IP uncertainties are holding you back?

• Are you willing to make your company ready for a sustainable future?

• Are you planning investments abroad?

If you are facing any of the above challenges or likely, our experienced team can assist in innovating new approaches and methodologies to enhance the way in which you manage, measure and apply the incentives available in Belgium and globally for your R&D, innovation or sustainability activities.
