What to expect:

Most companies leave significant public funding on the table, not because they don’t qualify, but because turning R&D costs into a repeatable, audit-proof cash inflow requires Finance, Tax and R&D to work from the same process.

This session walks through how that works in practice: what typically qualifies, where companies lose potential without realizing it, and how a structured, group-wide approach changes the picture on your P&L, liquidity and audit readiness.

Key takeaways

  • Why public funding often stays unused: the three structural mistakes that block most companies from turning R&D costs into a systematic cash inflow
  • How a coordinated Finance–Tax–R&D process changes the picture on EBIT, liquidity planning and audit readiness
  • What “planable” cash-in actually looks like once funding is embedded in financial planning instead of run as a one-off project
