Twelve acquisitions.
One Ignite Group.
Acquiring twelve firms is the straightforward part. Integrating them is what decides whether clients get better advice or just a different logo on the invoice – so that’s where the work went: one brand, one platform, teams that stay close to their own markets.
Why now, and how we’re unique
The market is consolidating.
Clients want cross-border coverage and deeper expertise in every scheme, while compliance deepens. Carrying all three alone is harder – the market consolidates around those who can.
Ignite is building the European leader.
Building Europe’s leading full-service grant expert, driving AI technology to maximise funding for innovative organisations – today across Europe.
Conviction over volume.
We approach few firms, and only where the fit is evident. The discipline that makes us selective is what allows us to commit without reserve to the ones we do.
