I lead Ixion Innovation, a not-for-profit organisation which is proud to be part of Shaw Trust-a major UK charity. We specialise in winning significant innovation funding for innovative and ambitious organisations right across Europe. We are one of the most experienced teams in Europe, with a pedigree stretching back 25 years. We are particularly known for winning grant funding which is usually the most powerful form of capital any business can access. It is non repayable, non-equity diluting and carries immense kudos and credibility for an organisation. We are regarded as one of the most successful organisations in Europe for winning grant funding, having secured well over £100m for our clients in the last 10 years. My team and I help companies to understand their future aspirations and innovation strategy. We assess the market need and the competitive landscape and then help our client's develop world beating products and services. Ultimately we secure grant assistance and financial leverage (usually between £100k and several million pounds). If needed, we also create collaborative partnerships and value chains containing the critical mass of research and technical capabilities to deliver the solution. This may also include the industrial/commercial supply chain to take it successfully to market. If you are seeking innovation funding and need help, I would be delighted to assist.

Pera Innovation Ltd is one of Europe's leading innovation companies. We help companies become more profitable by helping them develop world class products and services that sweep aside their competitors. We can provide a total capability, from initial concept development, market and exploitation strategy, funding and financial leverage, identification of supply chain partners and customers, through to actual technology development, working with Europe's leading scientific and technology providers. We are the most successful company in Europe for securing funding from Framework Programme.
