UpSpark is a consulting firm specialising in applying to the European Commission and its executive agencies for EU funds to propel research and development of bold, revolutionary ideas and turning them into marketable products with widespread impact on societies and economies around the world.



We specialize in the most business-oriented and impact-driven funding schemes under Horizon Europe, such as EIC Accelerator and EIC Pathfinder, as well as other international programmes like EUREKA/Eurostars.



We work with clients across different sectors and industries, utilizing the versatility and flexibility of the UpSpark team.



Building on the experiences of its founders, over 300 EU projects and €250 million of secured funding, UpSpark provides a deep understanding of funding mechanisms available in the EU and expertise in creating and executing innovation-funding strategies for top-tier technological companies in Europe.



At UpSpark we do not want to be a one-off service provider, but rather a long-term partner for your business. Therefore, we carefully investigate your problems, needs, and expectations to efficiently build and implement a tailored EU funding strategy.



We chose to work on very few cherry-picked projects at a time, hand-in-hand with our clients, diving deep into every endeavour. Because every project matters.
