Search for funding opportunities

Our team has assisted project leaders in the preparation of a “Eurostars” funding application and the search for French and European industrial partners.

Alcimed carried out a diagnosis of the current state of the project and then assisted the project leaders in identifying and setting up partnerships (establishing contacts and developing the consortium). Following this, we wrote the financial file, in collaboration with the project leaders on the non-scientific parts, and proceeded to a global critical review, until the final file was sent.

Our support in this search for funding allowed our client to structure its approach from A-to-Z and to guarantee an optimization of the content and form of its financial file.

We have supported two French regions in the construction of an application file for the PO FEDER FSE with a view to the deployment of a “Living Lab”.

Our team identified and mobilized the key local actors and then organized working meetings in the form of workshops in order to design a “Living Lab,” meeting the expectations of the funding client and the holder of the AAP. This work allowed for the construction of the response file to the AAP and the implementation schedule. Alcimed proposed a legal structure (operator, evolution towards a SCIC) and built a viable and sustainable economic model.

This work allowed our client to define the governance of the future “Living Lab” and to raise the necessary funds for its creation.

We created and launched a one-off external open innovation challenge for an energy company looking to boost a new innovation model in the field of robotics.

Our teams assisted our client in defining the synopsis, writing the rules of the game and the technical specifications, identifying financing methods, and launching the challenge.

Around thirty teams responded to the challenge at the international level, but only one team won!

Our team helped the project leaders of an incubator to map the existing public and private innovation funding mechanisms and to put together funding applications.

We first worked on identifying and characterizing public innovation funding windows in France and Europe: funder, eligibility criteria, associated amounts and types of funding. Secondly, our team identified and characterized the private seed and fundraising mechanisms associated with the development of innovation in France, enabling our client to select the appropriate funding channels for its various projects.

Our team then assisted the project leaders in drafting their financing applications.

To support its research activities, especially to finance the design of a demonstrator under real conditions, our client had identified a European call for projects, Horizon Europe. To respond to it and maximize its chances of funding, it gathered around fifteen European partners for its project and called on Alcimed to benefit from assistance in structuring its future project. We thus accompanied this institute through the preparation of a dossier with impactful content, meeting the expectations of the European Commission, by animating the members of the future consortium. We notably participated in drafting sections on the project’s impact, its organization, and its governance, and we conducted a critical review of the entire dossier. This project eventually obtained funding of several million euros after a second submission.

Our client, a company in the field of biotechnology, was preparing to open a French subsidiary to support a collaboration with a research institute. Our team was commissioned to accompany this company in the search for financing opportunities and in the formalization of a funding request for this project. For this purpose, we conducted a first phase of research on financing opportunities relevant to our client. We identified about twenty of them, retaining only two. We then assisted our client in the development of a file, particularly on scientific and commercial aspects. Finally, we enabled our client to submit a solid and impactful file through a critical review of the entire dossier.
