Workshop: Unlocking European Funding Opportunities for Startups and Scale-ups
Looking for funding opportunities without giving away equity?
European funding can be a powerful growth lever for startups and scale-ups, but the landscape can be hard to navigate: grants, national programmes, European calls, consortium-based applications and non-dilutive funding opportunities.
In this practical workshop, Régis Cazenave will help founders and startup teams understand when European funding makes sense, what evaluators look for, and how to know if your startup is funding-ready.
The session will cover:
The startup funding mix: equity vs. non-dilutive funding
When European grants can support startup growth
How to navigate the European funding landscape
Funding readiness: is your startup a good candidate?
What makes a strong application — and why proposals fail
Q&A, discussion and practical next steps
This workshop is designed for founders, entrepreneurs and startup teams who want to better understand how European funding can support growth, product development, market validation and international expansion.
