    II. Table of contents: 

    1. Introduction 

    1. Problem/Opportunity statement – What problem are you trying to solve.  

    Despite the rapid growth of deep-tech innovation in emerging markets, many promising startups lack the capacity, knowledge, and resources to successfully access Horizon Europe funding opportunities. The complexity of EU grant frameworks, limited experience in proposal development, and lack of international partnerships often prevent these startups from participating in large-scale innovation programs. 

    This gap results in underrepresentation of developing-region innovators in EU research and innovation consortia, slowing down technology transfer, commercialization, and the creation of sustainable, science-based enterprises. 

    The opportunity lies in building a structured, accessible, and mentorship-driven pathway that equips deep-tech startups with the skills, partnerships, and strategic guidance necessary to compete effectively at the European level. 

    Through the Neftaly Deep-Tech Innovation Access Project, this challenge is addressed by offering tailored acceleration support—covering call matching, proposal writing, partner identification, and submission assistance—at no upfront cost to participants. 

    By bridging this knowledge and access gap, Neftaly aims to increase the number of competitive deep-tech applications from emerging regions, foster cross-border collaboration, and strengthen the overall innovation ecosystem aligned with Horizon Europe priorities. 

    1. Background or literature review – up two pages about what research has been done so far to address the problem. Review and analyze the literature revealing the directions and limitations of the current state of the art. Also, cite your previous works addressing this problem (if any). 

    1. Participation barriers and administrative complexity 
    Multiple EU guidance documents and analyses identify administrative complexity, eligibility rules and consortium requirements as major obstacles for non-EU and peripheral organisations seeking Horizon Europe participation. Non-European entities can participate but often face constrained funding eligibility and complicated compliance regimes; National Contact Points (NCPs) and EU guidance exist to help applicants, but practical matchmaking and administrative support remain uneven in reach and quality. These structural issues reduce the ability of under-resourced deep-tech teams to assemble credible, multi-partner proposals.  

    2. Technical capacity, managerial skills and proposal know-how 
    Empirical literature and EU evaluations point to skills gaps—technical, managerial and grant-administration competencies—that lower the competitiveness of proposals from startups and small innovators. Short, intensive, tailored pre-award capacity building (call matching, proposal drafting, budget design, compliance checks) is repeatedly recommended as a high-value intervention to increase application quality and submission success. However, standard “one-size-fits-all” trainings often underperform unless matched to technology readiness level (TRL) and sectoral needs.  

    3. Effectiveness and limits of accelerators and incubators 
    A growing meta-analytic literature finds overall positive impacts from accelerator participation on startup outcomes (fundraising, growth metrics), but effects are heterogeneous and highly dependent on program design, mentor quality, sector alignment and follow-on supports. Studies emphasise that accelerators focused on deep-tech require domain-specific mentoring, infrastructural access (labs, pilot lines, HPC), and tailored investor engagement to deliver durable impact—generic accelerator models are insufficient for capital-intensive deep-tech ventures.  

    4. The “missing middle” and patient capital challenge 
    Deep-tech ventures frequently confront a financing gap between early grant/seed rounds and later commercial-scale financing (the so-called “missing middle”). This gap is particularly acute for hardware-intensive and green-tech startups whose scaling requires demonstrators, pilot manufacturing and patient capital. Literature and policy papers call for blended finance approaches, DFI engagement, and targeted public instruments that combine grants with concessional or catalytic capital to bridge this stage. Public grants alone (e.g., Horizon or EIC awards) can de-risk technology but do not always translate into sustainable scale-up without complementary financing pathways.  

    5. Consortium formation, networks and EU integration 
    Evidence stresses that successful Horizon applications often rest on pre-existing networks and credible partners across multiple Member States. Facilitated matchmaking, brokered introductions to EU research centres and SMEs, and active consortium-building supports materially increase proposal quality. However, matchmaking mechanisms currently in place tend to favour established EU actors; organisations in peripheral or non-associated countries remain under-represented unless dedicated outreach and facilitation are provided.  

    6. Infrastructure and scale-up access 
    Access to testing facilities, pilot plants, prototyping and high-performance computing (HPC) is a recurring determinant of proposal competitiveness: impact sections and demonstration plans are substantially strengthened when applicants can point to concrete infrastructure and scale-up pathways. While EU and national initiatives are expanding networks of demonstration facilities, access is uneven—especially for startups located outside major clusters—weakening many applications’ feasibility claims.  

    7. Directions in policy & good practice emerging from the literature 
    The convergent recommendations are: (a) targeted, TRL-aware pre-award coaching that includes hands-on proposal drafting and budget formulation; (b) proactive consortium brokerage tailored to under-served regions; (c) integration of infrastructure access (labs, pilots, HPC) into project design; and (d) explicit linkage to blended financing or investor outreach to close the missing-middle gap. Several recent EU work programmes and guidance documents reflect these emphases, notably in the design of EIC and SME-focused measures.  

    8. Limitations and research gaps 
    Despite clear recommendations, the literature documents persistent limitations: (i) many capacity-building initiatives lack rigorous impact evaluation (control groups, long-term follow-up) so attribution of grant success to specific interventions is weak; (ii) matchmaking platforms are often passive (listing partners) rather than proactive brokerage with trust-building and legal/administrative onboarding; (iii) financing solutions remain fragmented between grant and equity markets, leaving the missing middle inadequately served; and (iv) geographic inequities persist, with under-representation of innovators from peripheral and non-associated countries. These limitations suggest that program design must combine immediate pre-award support with medium-term infrastructure and financing pathways to be effective.  

    9. Neftaly’s prior contributions and complementarity with evidence-based practice 
    Neftaly has a sustained track record of targeted bid and proposal capacity building (multiple Neftaly training courses on bid preparation, proposal writing, tender submission, technical support and  proposal coaching). These prior activities reflect the literature’s emphasis on hands-on, problem-centred training and administrative submission support. Building on that experience, the Neftaly Deep-Tech Innovation Access Project deliberately integrates: (a) TRL-aware coaching and one-to-one proposal mentorship; (b) active partner brokerage and use of NCP pathways; (c) facilitated access to prototyping and computational resources; and (d) linkage to investor outreach and blended finance advisors—thereby addressing key gaps identified in the literature. (Neftaly internal program records and previous course portfolios document these activities.) 

    10. Synthesis and implications for project design 
    The literature indicates that improving deep-tech participation in Horizon Europe requires multi-pronged interventions: tailored pre-award support, proactive consortium brokerage, demonstrable access to infrastructure, and follow-on finance pathways. The Neftaly project operationalises these evidence-based directions and explicitly targets under-served regions, combining short-term wins (better proposals, compliant submissions) with medium-term capacity building (infrastructure linkages, investor introductions) to maximise prospects for Horizon Europe success.

By measuring both technical and managerial outcomes, the project generates evidence on how capacity-building, infrastructure access, and consortium support jointly contribute to startup competitiveness, while also producing scalable models for similar programs in other emerging regions. 

    2.3 Toxicological risks (if applicable). 

    The Neftaly Deep-Tech Innovation Access Project primarily supports startups through grant preparation, technical validation, and innovation acceleration rather than direct laboratory experimentation or large-scale production. However, given that participating startups may operate across a range of deep-tech sectors — including life sciences, nanotechnology, advanced materials, and clean technologies — it is important to address potential toxicological risks associated with their research and development activities. 

    1. Applicability of Toxicological Risks 

    While most program activities (training, mentorship, proposal support, and computational validation) are non-hazardous, certain participating startups may engage in prototype development or lab-scale testing involving materials or compounds with toxicological implications. These may include: 

    • Nanomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots) with unknown or potentially hazardous biological effects. 
    • Biochemical or pharmaceutical innovations that require the handling of reagents, solvents, or biological samples. 
    • Energy and clean-tech materials (e.g., lithium compounds, catalysts, polymer composites) that may present health or environmental hazards during testing or disposal. 

    2. Risk Identification and Assessment

    Waste Disposal Improper handling of hazardous or chemical waste High Low–Medium Strict compliance with environmental and institutional disposal regulations. 

    3. Risk Mitigation and Compliance Measures 

    1. Pre-screening of Startup Activities 
    1. All participating startups will undergo an initial risk assessment to identify whether their research involves toxic substances or materials. 
    1. Startups without adequate facilities or safety procedures will be referred to partner laboratories equipped for safe handling and disposal. 
    1. Adherence to Laboratory Safety Standards 
    1. All experimental work must comply with ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) where applicable. 
    1. Laboratories must maintain appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals used. 
    1. Training and Safety Orientation 
    1. Mandatory Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) training sessions will be conducted for participating startups before lab access. 
    1. Training includes safe material handling, spill response, waste segregation, and emergency protocols. 
    1. Institutional and Legal Compliance 
    1. All activities will adhere to EU REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) and CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) regulations. 
    1. Partner facilities must comply with national and EU-level biosafety and environmental safety laws. 

    4. Degree of Confidence 

    Given that Neftaly itself is not conducting direct experimental research but rather supporting and guiding startups that may do so, the overall toxicological risk to the program is low. Through strict compliance frameworks, risk pre-assessment, and safety partnerships with accredited laboratories, Neftaly maintains a high degree of confidence that all potential toxicological risks can be safely managed, minimized, or eliminated. 

    3. IP coverage (if applicable). 

    The Neftaly Deep-Tech Innovation Access Project recognizes that intellectual property (IP) management is a critical component of successful participation in Horizon Europe and other innovation-driven funding programs. The project therefore establishes a comprehensive IP framework that protects the interests of participating startups while promoting collaboration, transparency, and scalability of innovation within EU and international standards. 

    1. Overview of IP Relevance 

    Deep-tech startups engaged in the program operate across high-innovation domains such as AI, biotechnology, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, robotics, and nanotechnology—fields in which IP creation and protection are fundamental for competitiveness and funding eligibility. The project provides structured guidance and expert mentorship to ensure that: 

    • Founders understand IP protection mechanisms (patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and design rights). 
    • Startups can demonstrate ownership and freedom-to-operate (FTO) in their Horizon Europe proposals. 
    • Collaborative innovations emerging through partnerships or consortium-building are properly documented and protected under clear agreements. 

    2. Neftaly’s IP Management Framework 

    A. IP Awareness and Capacity Building 

    • Specialized workshops and one-on-one advisory sessions will help startups understand IP rights in the EU and globally. 
    • Topics include patentability assessment, prior art searches, IP strategy development, and open innovation considerations. 
    • Startups will receive training in data management, licensing, and IP clauses within Horizon Europe consortium agreements. 

    B. IP Pre-screening and Documentation 

    • Each participating startup will undergo an IP readiness assessment, mapping existing patents, trademarks, copyrights, or pending filings. 
    • Startups will be supported in developing a basic IP portfolio and documentation suitable for Horizon Europe proposals. 
    • Confidentiality and ownership of all submitted documentation will be governed by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) between Neftaly and participants. 

    C. Collaborative IP and Consortium Arrangements 

    • When startups engage in joint applications or consortia, Neftaly will provide model Consortium Agreements and IP Ownership Frameworks aligned with Horizon Europe rules. 
    • The principle of background IP (pre-existing IP) and foreground IP (newly created IP) will be clearly defined to prevent disputes. 
    • Joint ownership models will follow the Horizon Europe Model Grant Agreement (MGA) structure. 

    D. IP Protection and Commercialization Support 

    • Startups will receive mentorship to identify protectable innovations and connect with national and EU patent offices (e.g., the European Patent Office – EPO). 
    • Assistance will be offered in drafting patent applications, licensing agreements, and technology transfer strategies
    • Startups will be encouraged to develop commercialization plans linking IP assets to market entry strategies, enhancing their competitiveness in funding applications. 

    3. Neftaly’s Institutional IP Policy 

    Neftaly operates under a strict IP non-ownership policy for this project. All IP generated or refined by participating startups remains fully owned by the originating entity. Neftaly’s role is advisory and facilitative, ensuring that startups strengthen their IP strategies without risk of disclosure or infringement. 

    Confidentiality is safeguarded through: 

    • Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) signed with each participant. 
    • Controlled access to startup data and technical documentation. 
    • Secure digital storage and encrypted communication for proposal drafts and technical materials. 

    4. Degree of Confidence and Risk Mitigation 

    Risk Description Mitigation Confidence Level 
    IP Overlap or Infringement Potential conflicts with existing patents or technologies Prior art searches, IP audits, and expert review High 
    IP Leakage Risk of disclosure during training or consortium activities NDAs and access controls High 
    Unclear Ownership in Joint Projects Uncertain division of rights in collaborative proposals Consortium agreements with defined background/foreground IP High 
    Insufficient IP Protection Strategy Startups lack legal expertise or funding for filings Mentorship, partnerships with IP offices, and legal pro bono support Medium–High 

    5. Summary 

    The Neftaly Deep-Tech Innovation Access Project ensures that all participating startups have a robust IP management structure in place, protecting their innovations while facilitating participation in collaborative EU projects. This approach not only enhances proposal quality under the “Excellence” and “Impact” criteria of Horizon Europe evaluations but also positions startups for long-term commercialization success through protected, scalable innovations.
