Obtaining funding from Innoviris can be a strategic lever for turning an ambitious idea into a concrete project. This Brussels-based organisation supports innovative initiatives in a variety of sectors, from science to emerging technologies.
To maximise your chances, it is essential to understand the eligibility criteria and the specific expectations of the institution. Before taking any steps, remember to check that your company or research centre is based in the Brussels-Capital Region. One of the first reflexes is to download an official document detailing the conditions of access to the programme.
This guide is often available on Dial, the platform dedicated to administrative resources. Innoviris places particular emphasis on the scientific aspect of the project, which must demonstrate the potential for tangible and measurable impact. A solid project must also include a clear vision of how the results will be used in the future.
The organisation expects precise justification of the human and financial resources that will be mobilised. You should also be aware of the timescales involved, as it can take several weeks to prepare the application.
Digital tools are available to simplify the submission process and avoid oversights. Finally, methodological support is often offered to guide applicants through each stage. By following these recommendations, you will increase your chances of moving from an idea to a concrete project backed by public funding.
Scientific relevance and regional impact
The first criterion that Innoviris analyses is the scientific and technological relevance of your project. The organisation is looking for proposals that are genuinely innovative and address current issues in the Brussels-Capital Region. A project that contributes to regional competitiveness is more likely to be selected. Before submitting your application, take the time to consult and download the official documentation detailing the priority themes.
Your application must demonstrate clear added value for local research and development. It is also advisable to include measurable indicators to illustrate the expected benefits. Innoviris also offers tools for easy access to the data available on Dial, to help you structure your application.
Particular attention is paid to the project team's ability to achieve the objectives set. Originality and technical feasibility are also assessed during the analysis. Finally, don't forget to attach all the supporting documents required to avoid automatic rejection of the application.
Compliance with legal and contractual aspects
Legal compliance is another crucial point in obtaining Innoviris funding. Your project must comply with intellectual property and confidentiality standards. In particular, the organisation requires each project partner to accept this user licence, which provides a framework for the work funded. It is also necessary to clearly indicate the contributions of each participant and to guarantee the authors' right of paternity over their creations.
Innoviris ensures that no participant can demand any financial compensation outside the budgets defined in the agreement. This framework ensures that public funds are managed transparently and fairly. The protection of data and results is also an element assessed during appraisal. Your company must demonstrate its ability to ensure the maintenance and security of the tools developed. Good anticipation of legal risks is therefore essential to avoid any subsequent blockages. Finally, don't hesitate to consult a legal advisor or specialist partner to check that your project is compliant before it is submitted.
Preparing and submitting the application
The quality and completeness of your application will largely determine your chances of success. Start by gathering all the documents requested and making sure they comply with the formats imposed by Innoviris. Use the official forms provided and take the time to fill them in accurately. The website provides a download area for a document containing an exhaustive list of the items to be provided.
Your application must also contain a section dedicated to illustrating teaching, if your project has an educational or skills transfer component. Innoviris recommends structuring your application around clear, measurable objectives. Remember to detail the technical and financial resources that will be mobilised at each stage.
The support of an expert can also make all the difference in anticipating questions from the assessment committee. After verification, you can submit your application via the online platform or any other medium accepted by Innoviris. Once the application has been submitted, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt, followed by a period of analysis that can vary from a few weeks to several months.
Organisational capacity and strategic alignment
Two other decisive criteria should be taken into account before submitting your project to Innoviris. The first concerns your company's financial and organisational capacity. Innoviris assesses your ability to see the project through to completion, ensuring that you have the necessary human and budgetary resources. If your structure is too fragile, the risk of blockage or delay can reduce your chances of obtaining funding. It is therefore essential to present a clear strategy for resource management and to demonstrate the soundness of your operational plan.
The second criterion is the alignment of your project with Innoviris' strategic priorities. The organisation mainly funds initiatives that fall within specific themes such as the ecological transition, digital transformation or social innovation. Before submitting your application, check that your solution meets the regional objectives defined in the current programmes. If necessary, consult the official documents to ensure that your proposal meets current expectations. You can download the document setting out the priorities or ask an expert for advice on how to position your proposal.
