Where Ideas Meet
European Funding

European research and innovation programmes are among the largest public funding ecosystems globally, investing billions each year to support solutions for major societal and industrial challenges. Initiatives like Horizon Europe enable collaboration between companies, research organisations, and public stakeholders across areas such as mobility, energy, and digital transformation.

At the same time, accessing European funding is highly competitive and complex. Successful projects require strong alignment with EU priorities, well-structured concepts, strategic partnerships, and proposals that clearly demonstrate impact and implementation capacity. Many promising ideas struggle not because of lack of innovation, but because navigating the funding landscape demands specialised expertise and coordinated preparation.

Rhoé supports organisations throughout this process, helping transform ideas into competitive European projects and sustainable collaboration opportunities.

02 — What We Do & Our Approach

We help organisations turn innovation ideas into funded European projects.

Working mainly in Mobility, Energy, and Transportation, we support clients who want to develop, test, or scale solutions through European research and innovation programmes. Our role is practical and hands-on: we guide the process, connect you with the right partners, and support you from early concept development to project implementation.

A clear journey in three phases

Conceptualisation
02
Consortium & Proposal Development
03
Implementation Guidance & Project Compliance

03 — From Idea to the Right Opportunity

Understanding & Shaping the Concept

We begin by understanding your idea, objectives, and organisational goals. Together, we shape a clear and realistic project concept aligned with European priorities and funding frameworks, keeping the process focused and practical, without unnecessary complexity.

Matching with the Right European Calls

European funding is not one-size-fits-all. We identify the programmes and calls that best match:

01
Your project concept
02
Your organisation's role
03
Your readiness level

* This ensures your effort is directed toward opportunities with real funding potential.

04
04 — Building the Right Partnerships

European projects are built through collaboration.

The result is targeted participation in partnerships that are strategically meaningful, not random consortium membership.

Our network approach

06 — Committed Participation  ·  Shared Success

We go beyond advisory support by committing contractually to involving your organisation in a defined number of European proposal submissions, agreed upfront. This creates a predictable pipeline of opportunities and ensures continuous engagement in European research and innovation activities.
