At AFS, we are official advisors of the European Commission for Horizon Europe and we have the responsibility to evaluate and select the best projects and enterprises around Europe that will receive the public funding.
We help companies to be funded and to write a successful proposal. In addition, we support our clients during the different implementation phases.
Participating in Horizon Europe is an ambitious challenge. However, we have one of the highest success rate amongst our European competitors. We have created a Centre of Excellence in Switzerland with some of the most skilled EU grant specialists.
Our client portfolio includes some of the most important public institutions in Italy and in Europe.
Horizon Europe is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness.
The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation.
