Innovation consulting: Get your idea to market with the right support

At Aider, we help companies understand where they stand in the development of innovative ideas or projects. Whether you've just had an idea or are about to enter the market, our advice provides insight into what tools, grants and support you can access throughout your innovation journey.

This is how our innovation advice works:


1) Find out if your idea is eligible for funding


Not all ideas are ready to enter the market or to receive funding. We'll help you identify whether your idea is innovative and qualifies for funding. We assess project and market maturity on two different scales. This will show whether you have an innovation project that can compete for grants and support schemes.


2) Maturity scales


Once we've determined whether you're ready to compete, we take a closer look at two important factors:


  • Technology Readiness Level (TRL): How technologically mature is your project? This helps us determine which specific grants you qualify for.

  • BRL (Business Readiness Level): BRL assesses the market maturity of a solution or technology. It measures how ready the market is to adopt the product or solution, from BRL 1 (little understanding of the market or customer needs) to BRL 9 (a fully developed market with clear customers and demand).


3) Get the right grant for the phase you're in


Once we've mapped out where your business is on the TRL and BRL scale, we'll help you apply for relevant grants. Whether you're in the early development phase or close to full-scale launch, we'll ensure you apply for funding that suits your project and its maturity.
