Education
Investment partnership
European Commission · EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy
Building the bridge from EU funding to private capital.
Europe's innovation “valley of death” hits when grants alone can't scale a company. Brussels wants stronger venture capital and a faster route from lab to market — DeepSync builds that bridge, in both directions.
For VC & CVC funds
Qualified European innovation deal flow
Grant-backed DeepTech companies we know first-hand from proposal and programme work — funding history, tech maturity and scale-up needs, explained.
For portfolio companies
EU funding fit before the next round
We check which portfolio companies fit Horizon Europe, EIC or Digital Europe, flag evidence gaps, and map the right funding pathway.
ECOSYSTEM PARTNERSHIP
European Commission · New European Innovation Agenda
Building the bridge from acceleration programmes to EU funding pipelines.
Brussels wants better-connected innovation ecosystems so ventures don't stall once a programme ends. Accelerators build the venture — DeepSync builds the funding pathway that keeps it moving.
FOR ACCELERATORS & INCUBATORS
A funding layer for your portfolio
We add an EU-funding track to your programme — eligibility screening through full proposal support — so graduates leave with more than a pitch deck.
FOR PROGRAMME STARTUPS
EU funding readiness from day one
We match your stage to the right Horizon Europe, EIC or Digital Europe instrument and map a pathway you can act on after graduation.
INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIP
Horizon Europe · National Contact Point Network
Building the bridge from national mandates to EU-level delivery.
National Contact Points drive application quality, but hands-on delivery capacity for complex deep tech consortia is often stretched thin. DeepSync steps in as that delivery partner.
FOR NATIONAL & REGIONAL AGENCIES
Delivery capacity, not just guidance
We work alongside NCPs and development agencies on proposal development, consortium building and evaluator-level review — for the applicants your team refers.
FOR REFERRED APPLICANTS
From referral to fundable proposal
We take referred applicants from concept to submission-ready proposal, using the same evaluation logic your NCP already applies.
RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP
European Commission · EU Valorisation Policy
Building the bridge from lab result to fundable venture.
The EU calls it a second valley of death: the gap between early research (TRL 1–3) and a working prototype (TRL 4–7). DeepSync works with Technology Transfer Offices to close it.
FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES
A funding pathway for your spin-outs
We assess spin-out and licensing candidates for EU funding fit and turn research results into a fundable project — before incorporation.
FOR RESEARCHERS & SPIN-OUT FOUNDERS
From lab result to fundable proposal
We show researchers what evaluators actually look for, build the right consortium, and turn results into a competitive proposal.
CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP
European Commission · European Partnerships in Horizon Europe
Building the bridge from industrial roadmaps to EU consortium projects.
Horizon Europe's co-programmed Partnerships align EU funding directly with corporate R&I roadmaps. DeepSync turns that alignment into fundable, deliverable consortium projects.
FOR CORPORATES & INDUSTRY PARTNERS
Consortium roles, not cold outreach
We find where your R&I roadmap overlaps with open EU calls, and build the consortium around the gaps you can't fill alone.
FOR CONSORTIUM PARTNERS
Credible industrial anchors for your proposal
We connect deep tech SMEs and researchers with corporate partners who bring the market pull and scale evaluators look for.
MEDIA PARTNERSHIP
Building the bridge from Brussels policy signal to founder-ready intelligence.
Deep tech founders need to see where EU policy is heading before it shapes the next call. DeepSync's EU Insights Hub already tracks that shift — a media partnership extends the signal both ways.
FOR MEDIA & THINK TANKS
Deep tech signal from the ground
Practitioner-level analysis — evaluator patterns, call intelligence, consortium trends — from active proposal work most coverage can't access.
FOR DEEPSYNC'S AUDIENCE
Policy context before it becomes a call
Founders get earlier signal on where EU priorities are heading, through co-published analysis on the EU Insights Hub.
