Vision and
insights
At Plus Projects, we believe that grants only create value when they are part of a well-thought-out strategy.

That's why we look beyond the application itself and help organizations bring direction, coherence, and stability to innovation and funding.

From exploration to acceleration, and sustainable embedding
Grants are not an end in themselves, but a means to guide, accelerate, and sustainably secure innovation. That's why our approach always follows the same movement.

First, understanding where an organization stands and what it aims to achieve. Then, accelerating wherever possible. And finally, ensuring that results remain embedded in the long term.

Our Models

Our way of working is based on fixed principles. We unravel complexity, help organizations make sharp choices, and support sustainable acceleration. Not by doing more, but by doing the right thing at the right time. We always look at coherence: between content and grant funding, between short and long term, and between ambition and feasibility. This creates an approach that is simultaneously structured, scalable, and personal.
‍

Strategic CoherenceAt Plus Projects, we don't work from isolated grant schemes, but from strategic coherence. Many organizations are working on circular, digital, and sustainable transitions, and the grant landscape moves with them. That's why we use a clear framework that provides direction. And we support clients throughout the entire process, from grant exploration to embedding a grant project within the organization.
‍

Our ApproachGrants work best when they are part of a well-thought-out strategy. That's why our approach distinguishes three grant layers that logically connect. Not as a hierarchy, but as a practical growth path that helps to specifically support transition projects. Each grant layer has different frameworks, poses different questions to an applicant, and requires a suitable route.

Fiscal instruments

The foundation of many grant strategies is formed by fiscal instruments. These schemes are structural, predictable, and broadly applicable for organizations investing in development, sustainability, or digitalization, provided they meet the conditions.

The characteristic of this layer is certainty. There is no tender, no competition for budget, and no risk of funds running out. If an organization meets the criteria, the grant is available.

For many organizations, this layer therefore forms the foundation of their grant approach. Regardless of sector, scale, or project type. The focus here is primarily on good organization: clear demarcation, solid processes, and smooth execution.

Project grants

Targeted acceleration
‍
‍The second subsidy layer consists of national and regional schemes designed to accelerate transitions in a targeted manner. For example, by enabling investments, demonstrating innovations, or supporting collaborations.

In this layer, grants are not a given. Budgets are limited, and applications are assessed on their merits. The central question, therefore, is not only whether a grant is possible, but primarily whether it is strategically sensible to apply.

We help organizations make this assessment.
- What is the added value of a grant for the project.
- How realistic is the chance of success.
- What effort does an application require.
- How does this fit into the broader grant strategy.

Targeted choices prevent fragmentation and enable true acceleration.

(EU) consortium grants

Scale and system impact.

The third subsidy layer consists of large-scale, often European or thematic programs aimed at scaling up and systemic change.

These grants require collaboration, clear positioning, and long-term commitment. At this stage, a grant is no longer a standalone instrument, but part of a broader transition and collaboration strategy.

Success here is determined not only by the quality of the application, but also by project development, governance, and the strength of the consortium.

How we apply this

Read our client cases

Our strength lies in sharpening ambitions and translating them into a realistic subsidy strategy. We show which subsidy adds value now and which scheme is suitable for later. This leads to well-founded choices, ensuring subsidies remain a means, never the end goal.

Subsidies

The subsidy landscape is broad and constantly evolving. We help organizations navigate it. Not by trying to utilize everything, but by making sharp choices that align with an organization's stage, a project's ambition, and the reality of its implementation.
