Grants Roadmapping

Grants roadmapping aligns your innovation strategy with the right funding calls, then delivers the plan, the bid, and the post-award support to convert opportunities into awards. We run discovery workshops, scan and prioritise grants, write and manage bids, and support delivery after you win.

What is a grants roadmap?

A grants roadmap is a time-phased plan that links your technology milestones to the most suitable funding calls, with clear eligibility, timelines, bid ownership, and success actions.

A strong roadmap answers four questions: what to pursue, why it fits, when to apply, and how to win and deliver. It coordinates R&D, product, finance and partners, then sequences bids across UK and European programmes to maximise win-rate and cash flow alignment.

Spotlight on Success: Stablepharma Secures €2.5M Through the EIC Accelerator

In early 2025, Stablepharma Ltd was awarded €2.5 million in grant funding through the EIC Accelerator to advance its StablevaX™ technology, an innovation set to transform vaccine distribution by removing the need for cold‑chain logistics.

FI Group UK played a pivotal role in reviewing and strengthening the company’s final submission. Working closely with Stablepharma’s executive team, FI Group helped refine the technical narrative, align financials with key clinical milestones, and enhance the overall credibility and clarity of the application. The award made Stablepharma one of just five UK companies selected in a highly competitive round of over 1,200 applicants.

This success highlights how expert grant consultancy can significantly improve outcomes for high-potential applicants seeking funding under Horizon Europe’s most competitive instruments.
