The family firm that makes it happen.
Founds is Tom, Oliver and Gabriel Horvei, a small family firm based in Norway and working across Europe in English. We have helped companies get public support for innovation since 2010. Funding is where we start. Building, research and the right partners are how we turn it into results.
We have long experience of innovation, project management and the funding of R&D projects, first through SkatteFUNN, Norway's tax deduction scheme for R&D. Working on our own projects, we saw that many companies already run innovation work that qualifies for public support, without knowing it.
We shape the project around what the programme asks for, write the application and stay with it through reporting. Where you need more than money, we bring in researchers, developers and partners from our network and build with you in short cycles. The process should not be complicated or slow: no slide decks, no multi-year schedules. You spend your time on the technology, and we take most of the rest off your desk.
For more than ten years we have helped companies with SkatteFUNN, from Nille, Plantasjen and StrongPoint to small start-ups, often with approval at the first attempt. In the competitive European programmes no adviser can promise that, so we tell you early where the odds are good and where they are not.

You always speak to an adviser who knows your project, not to a form.
