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.
EU funding programmes
Finance research, innovation and transformation at scale – for instance through Horizon Europe or the EIC. High volumes, precise applications.
National funding programmes
National programmes fund development, investment and digitalisation – often technology-neutral and accessible nationwide. For many companies the first step.
Regional funding programmes
Provinces and regions add programmes of their own. Often combinable with national and EU funds.
