Who We Are

A strategic structure for
innovation & growth.

Agranas is a strategic mentorship and project development structure focused on Horizon Europe, international partnerships and innovation-oriented investment ecosystems.

Our focus is not only project writing. We go deeper — from consortium architecture and strategic positioning to international communication and funding alignment.

We work with
  • R&D companies
  • Universities
  • Municipalities
  • Innovation ecosystems
  • Agri-food businesses
We support
  • Consortium architecture
  • Strategic positioning
  • Partnership development
  • International communication
  • Funding alignment
Our Services

Five capabilities, one outcome: funded collaboration.

We work with R&D companies, universities, municipalities and agri-food businesses across Europe.

Horizon Europe Consortium Building

We design and assemble competitive consortia for Horizon Europe calls — from consortium architecture to signed partnership agreements.

  • Partner scouting & outreach
  • Consortium architecture
  • Letters of Intent & agreements

We go beyond partner search. Our approach focuses on consortium architecture — matching the right partner profile to the call requirements, balancing geographic spread, ensuring each partner carries a critical task, and structuring governance to maximise evaluation scores. We have supported over 40 funded consortia across 22 countries.

Strategic Project Structuring

We translate your innovation idea into a structured, fundable project — with the right scope, budget logic, and work plan architecture.

  • Project scope & work plan design
  • Budget structuring
  • Evaluation criteria alignment

Most good ideas fail at the structuring stage. We work with your team to define the project boundaries, break it into fundable work packages, align every objective to evaluation criteria, and build a budget that passes eligibility checks. The result is a project that is coherent, credible, and competitive.

International Communication & Meeting Management

We manage cross-border communication within consortia — coordination meetings, partner relations, and Horizon programme contacts.

  • Consortium coordination meetings
  • Partner communication
  • Programme officer liaison

International consortia fail without structured communication. We facilitate kick-off meetings, progress reviews, and partner alignment sessions across time zones and languages. We also manage the interface with programme officers at the European Commission, ensuring your consortium speaks with one coherent voice.

Executive Workshops & Closed Sessions

Tailored workshops for leadership teams — strategy alignment, funding landscape briefings, and innovation ecosystem positioning.

  • Funding strategy workshops
  • Leadership team briefings
  • Innovation ecosystem sessions

We design and deliver closed-door workshops for executive and R&D leadership teams. Sessions cover the current Horizon Europe landscape, how to position your organisation competitively, what evaluators look for, and how to build a multi-year funding pipeline. Delivered in Turkish or English.

Investment & Funding Strategy

We map your growth ambition to the right funding instruments — EU grants, blended finance, national co-funding and private investment.

  • Multi-year funding roadmap
  • Instrument & call matching
  • Investor introductions

EU funding is one piece of the puzzle. We build multi-year funding strategies that sequence Horizon Europe grants, EIC Accelerator blended finance, InvestEU, EUREKA and national instruments for maximum impact. For agri-food and deep-tech companies, we also facilitate introductions to aligned private investors.
