Incentives for innovation and sustainability

Incentive strategy 

During this phase, we examine the incentive driven entry points within your innovation and sustainability strategy and the incentive relevant angles of the underlying roadmaps. We also consider technology platforms, industry associations and public private partnerships or ecosystems relevant to your business in order to proactively influence government incentives policies. In close interaction with you, we determine which type of incentives are available to close the funding gap in the business case of your investment projects.

To design an effective incentive strategy, we also consider your company's position in its value chain and related carbon footprint. Finally, we assess your current incentives governance to improve efficiency of working processes during the phase of identifying, applying and managing incentives. Based on previously described work streams we ensure the implementation of a successful incentive strategy.

Incentives assessment

During this phase, we analyse the building blocks of the roadmap and underlying programmes & projects planned for the next 3-5 years for which incentive opportunities might be available. In doing so, we do an initial matching of the relevant programmes / projects with potentially relevant incentive schemes and prioritise identified incentives schemes on financial impact and relevance.

Feasibility analysis

During this phase, we analyse the feasibility of a successful incentive application or claim on a project-by-project basis.This phase also includes (informal) preliminary consultations with relevant governmental authorities to determine the final chance of success and adjust the project scope where needed.

Development (incentives) application or claim

In this phase, we assist in developing and editing the incentives project plan that usually results in the backbone of the application.We do this based on provided financial, technical and project content information (and information and data available in the public domain).Throughout the process - from development of project idea towards final application - we provide you with strategic advice and support in the required project management.

Compliance & reporting

After the incentive has been awarded, we support you in setting up the relevant Administrative Organisation/Internal Control (AO/IC) to safeguard optimum and compliant use of the incentives award. In addition, we’re able to support you in developing and submitting required technical and financial reports. If needed, we perform an informal pre-audit in cooperation with our colleagues from Subsidy Compliance Services prior to the formal audit.
