Write an Effective Project Plan – Step 3
Step 3: Write an Effective Project Plan
A compelling grant application is only as strong as the delivery plan that underpins it. To convince assessors that your innovation is both viable and fundable, you must write an effective project plan that clearly outlines how you will bring your idea to life, from concept to commercialisation.
This is the point where ambition must meet execution. Whether you are applying for funding from Innovate UK, Horizon Europe, or the EIC Accelerator, your project plan must demonstrate a well-structured, achievable roadmap. It should be realistic, technically sound, and aligned with your wider strategic goals.
