Spark Consulting

Spark Consulting has extensive experience in applying to grants and assistance programs, with over ten years of experience. It is worth noting that we have raised over ILS 250 million in grants for our customers in the last three years (total approved budgets over ILS 500 million).

Spark is also the owner of FundGuru – a global grant matching platform that matches national and global grants with companies’ products and activities, and provides a global holistic view on grants availability, requirements, winning chances and procedures to get those grants.

Spark mainly submits to the following major grants:

• the prestige Horizon Europe program,
• the EIC accelerator fund for SME companies,
• the variety of grants of the Israel Innovation Authority (development grants),
• the Foreign Trade Administration (overseas marketing grants),
• the Investment Authority (business establishment and expansion grants),
• the Israel Small and Medium Enterprises Authority (Industrial computing, employee productivity), and more.

The submission team includes consultants with vast experience in the domains of innovation in a variety of fields. On the one side, the team is experienced in preparing submissions, and on the other, it has experience assessing ventures and companies for investment objectives. Experts who have been involved in analyzing applications submitted to the Innovation Authority’s programs and the HORIZON program are among the employees and can provide feedback on the quality of the application during its preparation.

The team closely follows the business from the outset to the end of the process. The team delves into the details of the project, the technology, and the products aimed at the market, all while assessing the existing design and what must be done to improve the submission’s chances of success. The team works with the developers to prepare the application and submit it in the best possible way.

The following are the advantages of receiving support from other government grants or incentives:

• An accessible, relatively quick, and consistent source of funding over the years;
• Receiving the grants does not imply a share dilution for the company’s shareholders;
• Increasing the appeal of the business to potential investors;
• Establishing alliances with the world’s largest corporations;
• Provides a quality stamp to an industry company.
