THIS IS WHAT WE DO
At Gate2Growth, our mission is simple: transforming deep tech innovations into tangible success stories. With over two decades of expertise, we're not just about grant application writing—we're your strategic partners in navigating the complex landscape of EU and Danish grants. We build our expertise and experience by working with clients from all over Europe and as partners in large EU projects.
​
Our goal is to not just secure funding, but to ensure sustainable growth and success – so don’t be surprised when we start challenging your existing assumptions! It’s all part of our process. From understanding market trends to mapping out financial strategies, we equip our clients with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive landscape.
We have a price model that uses a combination of fixed fees and success fees. With this approach, the fixed fee covers our running costs of the process, while the success fee ensures we are both equally motivated to create a high-quality application. By partnering with Gate2Growth, you gain access to a team committed to your success, guiding you through every step of the process to maximise your potential and achieve impactful results.
