European cascade & FSTP grants
EU cascade grants are won or lost on the quality of one document. We write that document for you, to the standard the evaluators reward.

Strong. A call worth pursuing.
Most cascade calls fund 70%, not 100%, and the award is always at the discretion of the funding body. We tell you where you actually stand before you spend a euro, and we only earn in full when you win.
Calls fund ~70% of eligible cost, not 100%.
One questionnaire to start. We review your answers and chase any gaps, async, no calls.
One structured questionnaire: your technology, your numbers, your team. No calls, no workshops. If an answer is thin or missing, we ask targeted follow-ups in writing. No meeting required, but we will not let an incomplete form weaken your application.
Evidence-based, mapped to the call's exact evaluation criteria, stress-tested against how the evaluators actually score. Every factual claim comes from you. We never invent a number.
You see a finished application, not a template. You approve, and we handle the submission mechanics.
Three reasons the document we write outperforms the one a generator would draft.
We've analysed funded applications in your sector and mapped what the evaluators reward: the evidence, the structure, the framing. That analysis goes into every application we write.
Our setup fee is modest and counts toward what you owe later. The bulk of our fee falls due only if your grant is awarded. We win when you win.
This is done-for-you, not a tool you operate. You answer questions. We produce the application.
We work in three sectors where cascade funding is active and where the evaluation rewards exactly what we do well: precise, evidence-led technical writing. We also take on selected high-fit calls beyond these sectors when the bid plays to that same strength.
Cybersecurity, digital resilience, and the calls that fund them. We've taken funded applications in this space apart and know what the evaluators reward, from threat-model rigour to compliance framing (CRA, NIS2) that reads as competence, not box-ticking.
CRA · NIS2 · ECCC · Digital Europe
AI, data solutions, and smart-industry applications, from digital twins to industrial automation. The calls here score technical novelty, evidence, and credible impact hard. We write to that bar, with your measured results doing the talking.
EDIH · Digital twins · Horizon Cluster 4
Clean technology with a digital core: energy, circularity, optimisation. We frame your environmental impact in the language the evaluators score against, backed by your own numbers, never invented ones.
Energy · Circularity · Horizon Cluster 5
What wins a cascade application is evidence-led writing mapped to the evaluation criteria — and that travels across domains. When a call outside our core sectors is a strong fit, we take it on, selectively. Current examples: agri-food and bioeconomy innovation (the GRAPPA Innovation Open Call) and rural innovation replication (SMART ERA). If your call rewards rigorous technical writing, ask — we’ll tell you honestly whether we can write you a winning bid.

The EUDIS cascade lines open to dual-use SMEs. We are building the sector practice now.
From 2027
Cascade and FSTP calls run under EU programmes and fund SMEs in every member state. Our core markets sit in Western Europe, and we work fully async, so your location is never the constraint.
Primary markets
Reachable across all EU-27 and associated countries, fully async. No travel, no calls, one structured questionnaire.
The programmes that run cascade funding
A cascade application is read by evaluators working through fixed criteria with fixed weightings. Most applications lose points in predictable places. Our work is built to avoid exactly those places.
The Match Report is free. What you pay for the application work comes in two parts: a setup fee, and a 10% success fee due only if your grant is awarded.
Your setup fee reflects how much application work we do: the number of applications and the depth a call demands. It does not scale with your grant size; only the 10% success fee does. It also counts toward what you owe later, in full, as an advance.
One application, one clear call. Match Report, full application draft, one revision round. Best when the call is a straightforward single fit.
One application for a competitive or complex call. Everything in Voucher, plus deeper strategic positioning, non-overlap verification, and a second revision round.
Two parallel applications across calls. Multi-track strategy, capacity advisory, submission support, two revision rounds per application.
Retainer-style engagement for large or consortium-scale calls, scoped individually.
Additional application: €750 each, the price of one more application’s work. Only for genuinely distinct, non-overlapping calls, and only when your stated capacity can deliver them if awarded.
Due only if your grant is awarded. We time collection to your first grant payment, so you are never asked to pay before your funding starts to arrive. If you do not win, you owe nothing beyond the setup fee.
10%
On award. Collected when your first grant payment arrives.
You don’t pick a tier blind. Your free Match Report recommends the tier that fits, and explains why. You’re always free to choose Voucher.
No cost, no account, no sales call. You get a Match Report either way: a written assessment of fit, the relevant call, and your realistic position. If the fit is weak, we will say so.
Answer a short, structured questionnaire. The same direct, factual writing you would get if we worked together.
Eucade is a specialist practice for European cascade and FSTP grant applications. We work async and done-for-you, in a small number of sectors where we can write to a winning standard.
