The idea is yours. The partners are missing.

    Horizon Europe · Eurostars · Interreg · EU partnerships

    Collaborative calls are scored on the partnership as much as the idea: the right coordinator, the right research partner, a real route to market. We build that consortium with you, from a network we can show you.

    01 The network, as data

    21,000+
    vetted innovators across Europe in Dealflow's network
    FP7 → Horizon Europe
    winner data across three framework programmes
    No. 101058526
    our own Horizon Europe grant — checkable in CORDIS

    The winner data is not a brochure claim — it powers the "who wins this call" panels on every grant page of this site. Open any collaborative call and look ›

    02 What a scoring consortium needs

    Evaluators score the partnership as hard as the idea. Four roles have to be real.

    Coordinator
    Runs the project and the paperwork — evaluators check it has done so before
    Research partner
    An RTO or university that carries the scientific credibility
    Industry / SME partners
    The route to market — who exploits the results, and how
    End user or pilot site
    Proof someone wants the outcome enough to test it

    03 How the search runs

    1. Map the call's demands

      Countries, organisation types, roles — read out of the call text and the topic's winner data, before any name is discussed.

    2. Shortlist and approach

      Candidates from Dealflow's network and from the organisations that already win this topic. Warm approaches, not cold emails from an unknown address.

    3. Roles, work packages, budget split

      Evaluators score whether the partnership can deliver. Each partner gets a role and a budget share that make sense on paper because they make sense in reality.

    4. Keep it aligned to submission

      Partners drift: commitments, letters, budget signatures. We chase them so you don't, through to the submitted proposal.

    Start the search before the call opens

    Partner search takes weeks, not days. A free call maps what your call demands and whether the network holds it.
