More than simply a stamp of approval, this stage in our process guarantees the quality of the Valorial support service and the relevance of your innovation project.
Our endorsement gains recognition for your project from your teams, clients, partners and funders.
2 key stages:
> Drafting of an assessment report by one of our experts specialised in the field
> Presentation to the Approval Committee, dubbed “CoLab”:
> Up-to-date information on funding sources: regional, national, European
Our pro-active team works with you from the onset and even prior to project approval, to ensure your project meets the eligibility criteria for potential funding sources. Maximise your chances of obtaining funding!
> Funding Committee, dubbed “CoFi”: 5 committee meetings a year
Once approval has been granted, the appropriate funding source is confirmed or identified. This committee screens and examines projects in depth, from a point of view of economic development (job and value creation) and territorial development (dynamics).

> Awareness-raising and stimulation: draw on our involvement in European projects to develop your own networks on a European and international scale:

Setting up a collaborative project is no mean feat. It involves gathering and motivating partners from different backgrounds on the basis of the rough outline of a project. Thanks to the support provided by Valorial, we were able to apply for approval very quickly and focus our attention on key elements to ensure project success: signing a consortium agreement, quantifiable goals and results, etc. The input of Valorial advisers on funding aspects was particularly appreciated: both for drafting the provisional budget (a tricky task in the preliminary stages of a project) and for putting us in contact with funders, resulting in all the partners receiving subsidies for the initially presented amounts. “
