Biel supports companies that are entering new phases of growth, whether through market expansion, structured partnerships, investment initiatives, or participation in larger project environments.

We work at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping translate internal capabilities into structured, realistic initiatives. This often involves navigating complex environments: cross-border collaboration, multi-party projects, or international funding frameworks.

Our experience spans national and European project landscapes, as well as cooperation with partners across the DACH region and wider European markets. We understand both the formal requirements and the practical realities of operating in international settings.

The focus is not on isolated applications or short-term activity, but on building initiatives that are commercially meaningful and operationally sound.

If you are exploring new partnership or funding options, we would be glad to assess how we can support you.

Our Services

Designed to structure growth, collaboration and execution

Market Research

Before engaging in funding or collaboration, structural clarity is essential.

  • Market environment and industry dynamics
  • Competitive landscape overview
  • Positioning and differentiation assessment
  • Opportunity mapping
  • Regulatory and policy conditions

We analyze markets, value chains, regulatory environments, and competitive positioning to determine where initiatives are realistically viable and where they are not.

Core programmes include:

  • Slovenia
  • SPS – R&D and innovation calls
  • SPS – digitalization and modernization
  • SPIRIT development programmes
  • Sectoral and ministry-based incentives
  • Europe
  • Horizon Europe (collaborative projects)
  • Eurostars
  • EIC Accelerator

We also assess specific instruments, if needed.

Partner Sourcing

The strength of a project often depends on the strength of its partners.

We identify and qualify partners aligned with clearly defined objectives and execution capacity, including:

  • Research institutions and universities
  • Industrial and technology partners
  • Commercial and market-facing entities
  • Capability and credibility assessment
  • Strategic and operational alignment

This is a central component of programmes such as Horizon Europe and Eurostars, where consortium credibility directly influences positioning and evaluation.

At the same time, partner selection is not limited to funding contexts. Strategic collaboration, whether within public programmes or independent industrial initiatives, often determines long-term viability.

For this reason, Partner Sourcing can be delivered as a standalone service or integrated into a broader funding engagement.

Collaboration Design

When participating in multi-party projects, clarity of position is essential.

We support companies in defining their role within the broader project framework, ensuring alignment between:

  • Technical contribution
  • Overall project objectives
  • Work package responsibilities
  • Expected outcomes and impact

We help articulate where your expertise fits within the consortium logic and how it should be presented.

Contact Us

Execution Support

Once structure and positioning are clear, formal documentation must reflect that clarity.

We prepare structured proposals aligned with selected funding instruments, ensuring coherence between strategic intent and formal requirements.

Support includes:

  • Technical narrative drafting
  • Impact and implementation sections
  • Budget preparation and cost structuring
  • Submission coordination

The objective is consistency between what the project intends to achieve and how it is formally presented.

Project Coordination

Approval is not the end of the process.

Structured implementation is essential to preserve credibility and ensure long-term benefit.

We support companies in maintaining clarity throughout execution, including:

  • Timeline and milestone alignment
  • Reporting structure and documentation flows
  • Responsibility mapping
  • Communication and coordination discipline
  • Compliance oversight

The objective is controlled execution — transparent, aligned, and consistent with the original project logic.

We help turn ambition into momentum.

How We Work

You are exploring a new market or development direction

You want a general overview of a potential new market or industry.

We provide a structured overview of the selected market, the industry landscape, key players, and the broader business environment. The review also highlights potential funding options and the types of partners typically involved in this space.

You already have investment or R&D plans and want to explore funding options

You are unsure whether a suitable programme or funding call exists.

We review the development stage of your project, screen relevant European and national programmes, and assess whether a proposal would be realistic. The outcome is a concise overview of possible funding routes and guidance on which calls could be relevant and when to apply.

You need partners for a project or longer-term collaboration

Technology projects or market expansion often require research or industrial partners.

We identify organisations with relevant capabilities or technologies, review their background and experience, and where appropriate help initiate the first contact. Support may also include arranging B2B meetings or helping form a project consortium.

You are preparing a project proposal and moving towards implementation

Once the project concept is clearly defined, we support the preparation of the proposal and the structuring of the project.

This includes preparing proposal documentation, aligning partner contributions and budgets, and final submission. For approved projects we can also support coordination of implementation and reporting.
