The Challenge
Recognising the potential of their R&D work and innovations, Provitec made a strategic decision to fund their initiatives with a government-supported programme, the research allowance.
From the very start, Provitec knew that the process of applying for and acquiring the research allowance involves a lot of complexities. The major challenges they faced were:
Limited knowledge about the programme and its criteria
Complex project documentation adhering to the guidelines and crafting effective applications.
Time constraints, as Provitec’s team was focused on core project development and unable to take part in the funding application process.
The Solution
Provitec partnered with innoscripta to successfully manage the funding application process, and innoscripta provided end-to-end support, from analysing the eligibility of R&D projects, handling the documentation to preparing effective applications. innoscripta ensured that all requirements were met, in terms of recording project information and eligible R&D expenses.This enabled Provitec’s team to stay focused on their core R&D work.
“Ultimately, preparing an application also takes time from my engineers, and innoscripta completely took this work off our hands.”
The Impact
The collaboration with innoscripta generated significant and measurable outcomes for Provitec:
100% success rate: With innoscripta's support, Provitec submitted research allowance applications for three R&D projects and all three were approved at the first attempt.
Significant time savings: As innoscripta offered holistic assistance, the team from Provitec could save a good amount of time on administrative tasks related to funding applications and focus on further research and innovation.
Stronger R&D focus: With financial support through the research allowance, Provitec continues to pursue and invest in new R&D ventures and innovations in the field of automation technologies.
Conclusion
innoscripta successfully guided Provitec in acquiring the research allowance by transforming a complex and time-intensive funding process into a streamlined experience. Provitec highlights innoscripta as a trusted partner, hints at future collaborations, and recommends innoscripta to companies that are transforming entire industries through remarkable research, development, and innovation.
“We are happy to recommend innoscripta, especially for companies like ours that are truly forward-thinking and want to develop new things.”
