In episode #247 of The Grant – the EU funding podcast, I’m joined again by Lise Pape, founder of Walk With Path, together with Rasmus Mørk from Greater Copenhagen EU Office, to explore a part of the EU funding system that many startups and SMEs may not even know exists. Rasmus explains how the office works with companies in Eastern Denmark to match their product-development plans with relevant European funding, assess whether EU funding actually makes sense, strengthen early project concepts and connect companies with further expertise when needed. Lise provides the company perspective and explains how that support has helped her discover opportunities, assess calls and strengthen consortium development over several years. The conversation also tackles an important point: EU funding is not right for every company, and sometimes the most valuable advice is to stop before investing months in the wrong application.
