In this episode I am exploring the idea development for EIC Accelerator proposals. Through LinkedIn I got in contact with Sandra Anic who is a Business development manager in the Croation grants consultancy company Aestus Consulting.

In this exchange Sandra shares with me how to unfold the technology concept that you have developed into a full proposal concept. How to understand lab test concept, how to fold out a strong business model and market analysis and what tools you can use for this. Especially the canvas tool is presented and discussed. In short, we discuss how to calibrate the technology idea into the EU Commissions frame of EIC Accelerator.

The episodes especially offers advice for grants consultants on how to work with the clients' starting point and input and it gives advices how to approach the different core proposal parts. However, all people working on EIC Accelerator proposals will get something out of this, as well as people working with Horizon Europe Pillar II proposals.
