Why us
IPCEI is all we do.
Not one programme in a catalogue of hundreds — one State-aid instrument, full time. Every wave, every strand, every Commission decision since the first. Generalists learn IPCEI on your file; we've already made the mistakes on our own time.
IPCEI is decided by economics. So are we.
It is not a grant call — it is a State-aid procedure, and the Commission's assessment turns on the funding gap, the counterfactual and the effect on competition. Lawyers argue those points; we quantify them. Our models are built by PhD economists and stress-tested against Commission precedent before the Commission ever sees them.
We know the questions before they're asked.
A notified file faces 100+ Commission questions over ~100 pages. We keep a structured base of what DG COMP has asked, wave after wave — your answers are drafted before the questions arrive.
We're not selling you a stamp.
An open secret: the biggest IPCEI beneficiaries could file without any consultancy. What they buy from expensive advisers is a third-party signature on their numbers — and everyone else ends up paying those prices. We price against your project, not against what validation is worth to a billion-euro incumbent.
Pay for what you need.
Full mission from project design to Commission approval — when that's what your situation calls for. Or one thing: a review of your funding-gap file before submission, a workshop for your team, support only on the Commission's questions, a second opinion on instrument choice. Start with the free 30-minute IPCEI fit check.
We leave capability, not dependency.
We train your internal team as we work. Each wave, you need us less.
The grant can pay for the help.
A large part of our fees can qualify as IPCEI-eligible costs — and part of our remuneration is tied to the aid actually notified.
The honest test of any adviser — including us: ask what your project actually needs, and pay for exactly that.
