Why a structured programme overview matters
The problem is rarely that no funding exists. The problem is finding it. Working through public portals alone makes it easy to miss the programme that fits best. We call this gap The Opacity Gap. Behind Eligibility Radar and the Funding Scan sit more than 1,000 programmes, continuously maintained and matched against your profile. A clear selection instead of many portals.
Funding by level
Funding programmes differ first by their level. Each level has its own budgets, its own conditions and its own application routes.
