Project scoping
Describing your security or digitalization project in a way that funding programs can assess.
Advisory & intelligence
Funding for security and digitalization projects — found systematically
There are many funding programs for cybersecurity, digitalization and AI — at federal, state and EU level. Finding the ones that fit your project takes time. We help you scope the project and identify relevant opportunities.
Why funding is often missed
- Programs are spread across federal, state and EU levels
- Conditions, deadlines and combinability rules differ widely
- Projects are not scoped in a way that matches program logic
- De minimis limits are checked too late
