Grant writing and business development services for your ERC Proof of Concept Grant (PoC).
Winning your
ERC Proof of Concept Grant
Your ERC grant has yielded some exciting new insights. You are eager to explore how these can be leveraged for society. An ERC Proof of Concept Grant (PoC) is the grant that allows to identify the best route towards impact. This can take any shape or form. For example, establishing a spin-off, industrial licensing or a new service provided by your lab, you name it.
Are you fit for an ERC Proof of Concept Grant?
An ERC PoC is not a scientific grant, rather a business-oriented one. The goal is typically to evaluate the commercial viability of your invention and will consist for at least 50% of business development and market analysis tasks. The rest can be allocated for pivotal experiments to evaluate commercial viability.
The application positions your invention in the broader market, current unmet needs, possible business models and IP landscape. Also, you need to describe the pivotal steps needed to bring your invention to market. That is where we as ERC.support come in: to write your winning ERC Proof of Concept Grant.
Importantly, we do not just write well. Building upon our business development expertise, our grant services help to develop better ERC Proof of Concept Grant projects that really lead to commercial success.

How our
grant writing services
work
To write a winning ERC Proof of Concept Grant (PoC), our grant writing service integrates thorough understanding of your invention, the latest developments in the market and the possible (business) models to bring your invention to society and commercial success.
1
Strategize
First, we need to clearly identify the invention and in what areas it can really add value. If available, we evaluate the patent position. We map the market needs and alternative solutions. We size the market and identify possible business and funding models.
2
Pitch
Secondly, we need to construct a convincing pitch, one that excites both scientific and business experts. For this we will compose a narrative that concisely describes the unmet needs, why your invention is a disruptive solution, its market potential and what is needed for successful commercialisation.
3
Build
Finally, during the project, we will support you in developing the business. Meaning, we will do the market research, validate business models and consolidate the resulting strategy in a business plan. We can even help setting up start-ups, support license negotiations, etc.
Our ERC PoC grant writing services include IP assessment, gap analysis and experimental plans for the preliminary data that will be needed for the ERC grant application.
Our services include workshops to explore different commercialisation scenarios and construct a convincing pitch for the ERC grant application.
We will provide business development support, during and beyond the project.
Our most successful ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) grant writing service provides comprehensive support as described above. This includes business development support during the project. Where needed, we can tailor our services to your needs.
UPDATE: We are happy to inform you we have secured additional capacity for the upcoming deadlines.
