Grant Insight

Market intelligence for stronger Horizon Europe proposals and projects

Consolidate prior EU projects, partners, market signals and KER adoption potential—then turn findings into crisp insights for Excellence, Impact and Implementation.

The challenge

Competitive Horizon Europe proposals require solid landscape evidence: what has been funded before, who are the credible partners, how the market looks, and how KERs could be adopted. Today, this work is scattered across portals, spreadsheets and manual desk research—slow, brittle and hard to update before reviews.

Who it is for

Key capabilities

CORDIS landscape review

CORDIS review: what’s been funded already

Pull project metadata (objectives, topics, participants) and build a similarity map to position your idea versus prior art. Export comparative tables for Excellence.

Partner search

Partner identification

Search organisations by topic/call keywords using public partner search endpoints and CORDIS records; shortlist by experience, role and geography.

AI qualitative summaries

AI summaries for qualitative insights

Generate concise briefs from long documents (calls, policies, reports). Highlight signals, risks and opportunities, with links back to sources.

Market sizing

KER market potential (quant & qual)

Estimate market size and adoption scenarios for key exploitable results. Triangulate with public stats and sector reports; track assumptions and sensitivity.

Stakeholder maps

Stakeholder & competitor mapping

Visualise stakeholder categories, incentives and competing solutions. Capture entry barriers, standards and regulatory context.

Source provenance

Source management & provenance

Store datasets and documents in Grant Hub with full provenance. Every chart and claim links back to its source, ready for reviews.

Grant 360 integrations

Integrations with Grant 360

Send impact routes to Grant Genius, feed quantified assumptions to Grant Impact, and inform adoption projections for Grant Vault.

Dashboards and exports

Dashboards & annex-ready exports

Build figures and tables for proposals or periodic reports. Export with referenced sources and methods.

Compliance

GDPR-max & EU-hosted

Sovereign storage, role-based access and auditable trails across datasets and notes.

How it works

Proposal workflow

  1. 01

    Define scope & questions

    Pick call/topic keywords and KER hypotheses. Set what you need to evidence (gaps, demand, adoption routes).

  2. 02

    Collect landscape data

    Fetch prior projects (CORDIS), partner candidates and baseline market signals; store sources in Grant Hub.

  3. 03

    Analyse & summarise

    Generate qualitative briefs and quantitative snapshots. Map stakeholders and competing solutions.

  4. 04

    Package insights

    Export figures/tables and short narratives aligned to Excellence/Impact sections, with references.

During the project

  1. 01

    Refresh & track

    Update datasets each period; monitor market and policy signals as the project evolves.

  2. 02

    Inform exploitation

    Push scenarios and assumptions to Grant Impact and Genius for KER strategy and impact modelling.

  3. 03

    Evidence for reviews

    Produce annex-ready charts and source lists for reviewers; keep provenance auditable.

FAQ

Which sources are supported?
CORDIS project data, public partner search endpoints, official statistics and sector reports. You can also upload your own datasets and documents to Grant Hub.
Can insights be reused across proposals?
Yes. Save searches and datasets as collections; duplicate and adapt for new calls while keeping provenance.
How are AI summaries controlled?
Summaries include citations back to the underlying sources. You can review and edit before export.
How does it connect with other Grant 360 apps?
Send impact routes and assumptions to Grant Genius/Impact for exploitation and KPI modelling; inform adoption scoring in Grant Vault.
Do you support GDPR and EU hosting?
Yes. Data is stored with role-based access, encryption and audit trails on EU-hosted infrastructure.
