Designed FOR INNOVATORS looking for financing options
We design blended finance strategies that combine public funding with private capital to make innovation projects investment‑ready, bankable, and scalable. Our approach supports the full innovation‑to‑scaling pathway—from early structuring through pilot deployment and cross‑border growth—so financing logic strengthens the project.
We start with a structured analysis of your innovation or business case’s maturity, objectives, and funding fit. We map appropriate public instruments and complementary private capital pathways, then identify what must be strengthened (e.g., market logic, risk profile, implementation readiness) to improve bankability and investment readiness.
We translate the analysis into a practical financing roadmap: which instruments to combine, in what sequence, and with clear milestones and responsibilities. We support implementation by aligning the financing strategy with of your project’s maturity, structure, partner roles, and delivery planning—so the project remains credible during proposal preparation and execution.
Designed FOR EU CONSORTIA
We support EU consortia across concept development, proposal writing, and submission—while also strengthening stakeholder outreach and local integration in Slovakia where relevant. As we enter a new phase of BALTEUS’s development, we aim to contribute more directly to project creation, implementation, and impact delivery within framework programmes and international project collaborations.


If a consortium needs a strong anchor concept, we can bring a suitable main project idea and develop it into a structured, proposal‑ready project narrative. Together with the consortium, we then build the partnership logic and shape the project design—turning the core idea into a coherent concept with clear work packages, outcomes, and an implementation pathway.
If the main project idea already exists, we can join and strengthen it as a partner or strategic advisor. We contribute with blended finance and funding strategy framing, stakeholder outreach and ecosystem engagement, and investment‑readiness/impact thinking—helping improve proposal quality and increasing the credibility of the project’s scaling pathway.
Designed FOR ECOSYSTEM ACTORS – cooperation offer
We work with ecosystem actors to strengthen the innovation pipeline by improving project readiness, funding literacy, and collaboration capacity. BALTEUS bring a direct access to a 10+ year network of innovation intermediaries (accelerators, clusters, hubs) in Slovakia. Through our access to regional innovation intermediaries and stakeholders in Slovakia, we help connect promising initiatives with partnerships and opportunities that support innovation‑to‑market pathways and scaling.
We deliver a practical education program focused on how Slovak innovations can secure funding more effectively—by structuring projects clearly, understanding EU collaboration requirements, and applying blended‑finance thinking where relevant. The program is designed to be actionable: participants leave with clearer next steps, stronger project logic, and improved readiness for European opportunities.
We integrate our education program into ongoing ecosystem activities, delivering workshops and structured support that help innovators and ecosystem stakeholders prepare for EU collaboration and aligned funding pathways.
