Horizon Europe

Venturenomix brings 15 years of experience to the process of developing projects and applications for R&D grant funding.

The directors founded and built a market-leading UK-based R&D grant writing consultancy between 2009 and 2019 with specialist knowledge in Innovate UK EDGE grant funding. Since 2019, we have expanded our knowledge into European R&D grants under the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programmes. 

We have been actively involved in securing over £100m in R&D grant funding for startups, scaleups, established businesses, universities, cities, NGOs, NFPs and more! If you are seeking to bring innovative technologies to market, working on novel research or looking to deploy novel approaches in your city – it is worth exploring R&D Grant funding.

“We have been very well looked after in this process of defining a compelling EU grant funding project. This was the first EU R&I grant that the City of Kiel has been involved in and we are delighted that the application was approved for funding.”

Jonas Dageforde

Chief Digital Officer, City of Kiel

“Overall, the project addresses the criterion very well, in particular: Open Science aspects are sufficiently defined, the approach to gender dimension in research is well defined, interdisciplinary aspects are well-considered, and the methodology is sound. The proposal clearly goes beyond current state-of-the-art, and the objectives are clear and pertinent. Project is recommended for funding.”
