10+ Years R&D Leadership $15M+ Programs Managed PhD Mechanical Engineering

Your R&D Program
Ships.

On time. Fundable. Defensible. We turn stalled initiatives into programs that cross the finish line — and win the grants to fund them.
We've done this before. This time, we're on your side.

From stalled to shipped

Results

01 2–4 weeks

You Win the Grant

Your team stays focused on their real work while we build a proposal that evaluators approve. Credible timelines. Budget logic that holds. A submission your competitors can't match.

How: WP structure • DoA support • Budget justification • Submission checklist

02 2–3 weeks

Your Stalled Program Crosses the Finish Line

That initiative that's been drifting for months? It gets clear owners, hard deadlines, and a rhythm your team can execute. Leadership stops asking "where are we?" — they already know.

How: WBS + Gantt • Gate criteria • RAID log • Weekly status pack

03 3–4 weeks

Your Board Funds the Roadmap

No more endless prototyping. No more "just one more iteration." In deep-tech domains like autonomy, robotics, and AgTech, we translate Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) into investment decisions — so leadership says yes or no, not "let's revisit."

How: TRL pathway • Capability & risk map • Portfolio options • 12–24 month plan

04 1–2 weeks

You Kill Bad Bets Fast

Before you commit 6 months and €500K, know if the idea holds water. We pressure-test your riskiest assumptions and give you a clear go/no-go — not a 50-page report you'll never read.

How: Risk map • Test plan • Findings memo • Go/No-Go recommendation

What We Don't Do

  • We don't write retroactive narratives a month before the audit
  • We don't stuff unfinishable projects into grant applications
  • We don't guess what evaluators want to see

We've seen plenty who do. We've seen the results, too.

Track Record

Before Luminairo, our founder spent a decade leading industrial R&D at a leading agricultural machinery manufacturer:

The company is new. The track record isn't.

Why Luminairo

We spent a decade in the trenches. We lived through drifting programs, rejected grants, and roadmaps that collected dust.

That's why we focus on outcomes, not deliverables. Not a Gantt chart — a finished project. Not a report — a funded program.

We were on the inside for years. We know what it's like when the audit notice hits your inbox, when someone asks "is this file ready?" and the answer is silence. That's why we don't try to save the process in the final month. We win the audit when the project starts.

With a decade of hands-on experience in R&D incentive management — from reporting to audit preparation — and reviewer experience with international funding bodies, we build your applications through an evaluator's eyes.

We combine academic rigor with industry speed — your projects work in the field, not just on paper.

Typical reply: 1–2 business days.

Luminairo is a new company. But the methods we use aren't new.
For years we were on the inside, taking risks on behalf of institutions — now we stand behind our own name.
