Large energy companies are very popular in the EU funding eco-system. If you manage to get one of these babies onboard your EU energy proposal then you know that you have just made your chance bigger to access funding. Even better if it is from one of the continents big capitals! I happen to be so lucky that The Grant has a regular listener from exactly such an organisation.

Amy Radlberger is EU Funding Expert in Wiener Stadtwerke which is the energy company of Vienna. I reached out to invite her in for a talk about how they work with EU funding and luckily for me she happily accepted the invitation. So, we recorded a strong episode with focus on the key innovation areas for such a large organisation, a talk about their innovation strategy and how they calibrate that vis-à-vis EU funding.

This is a very strong episode with insights into how the energy company of one of the largest cities in Europe work with EU funding. A real treat for you out there.
