Alien’s Innovation Consulting portfolio of services is uniquely designed to support high-growth companies in securing public innovation funding programmes and attracting private investments.

We craft superior project proposals for the most competitive innovation funding programmes, with a specialisation in the European Innovation Council (EIC) within the Horizon Europe Framework Programme, as well as the SBIR/STTR, the most competitive research and innovation federal funding program in the USA. We take care of the project management and reporting tasks, so that innovators can stay focused on developing their business idea.

We assess the business model and revenues streams, and develop complete financial projections. We outline the go-to-market strategy on the basis of solid market and competition data. Specifically for SBIR/STTR grant awardees, we help them access and use government Technical and Business Assistance-TABA funding to commercialize their innovation.
