This is the third release of episodes under my short format The Grant Shorts. This is the second out of the two episodes where I zoom in on my 3rd job within this sector: Head of Funding in Offshoreenergy.dk – the official Danish energy innovation cluster (now Energy Cluster Denmark).

In this episode I elaborate on four core elements to be aware of when supporting SMEs towards funding from Brussels: 1) Understand your target group, 2) Learn how to translate the EU language, 3) Communication and 4) Eliminating the disctance.

Several of the key points also apply to other stakeholder groups so the episode gives inspiration to many organisation supporting stakeholders from Brussels towards funding.
