The European Union (EU) has a formidable research and technological development (RTD) capability,
credibility and commitment, and Excellis offers significant expertise in this area.
Our ongoing involvement in European framework programmes in a number of areas (as detailed below) ensures
that our clients receive advice and services that are cognizant of current and future developments in new technologies and business paradigms.
We believe that this is another differentiating aspect of our service, as we can help our clients innovate and implement strategic
safeguards against technological or service-provider obsolescence.
Critical success factors
Our clients (especially SMEs) often tell us that successful participation in EU programmes
necessitates a significant amount of upfront investment in resources, skills and know-how. In addition, long-term and practical experience of
the framework programmes and the European Commission itself is also a prerequisite.
Therefore, by partnering with Excellis, our clients can quickly acquire the prerequisite level of hands-on experience, skills and the know-how.
At the same time, they can be assured of our 100% independence and full technical and commercial confidentiality of their ideas and intellectual property.

R&D initiatives or project development. We offer a full range of services that include:

- Call and work-programme feasibility assessment
- Consortium formation and agreements
- Financial budget and project plan formulation
- Bid development and "mock" evaluations
- Project management and liaison with the European Commission officers
