Nuestra experiencia con el Instrumento PYME sobre el Objetivo de la Propuesta: el Qué?

• Nuestra propuesta es una propuesta de negocio no una propuesta de I+D

• Ya llevábamos 4 años trabajando en el proyecto

• Hemos desarrollado y probado la tecnología

• Estamos ya vendiendo y consiguiendo ingresos (aunque aun a pequeña escala)

• El proyecto que proponemos tiene coherencia lógica con la estrategia de la empresa. Simplemente es “acelerar” nuestro crecimiento

• Partnerships/clientes relevantes identificados y comprometidos con el proyecto. Demostración de la capacidad de ejecución (porqué nosotros lo vamos a conseguir y no otro)

Proceso de preparación de la propuesta: el Cómo?

• Hacer la propuesta es un “proyecto” en sí mismo

• Plan de trabajo concreto

• Involucración de todos los departamentos Research, Production, Finanzas, Comercial y Dir. General

• Reuniones todas las semanas de revisión de grado de avance • 8 reuniones de trabajo de revisión del borrador

• En nuestra propuesta hay muchos números/gráficos, datos del

mercado, evoluciones, etc.

• Escribir claro, cómo si el evaluador no supiese nada del tema. No dar cosas por supuestas

• “Pulir” el inglés, redacción clara, ajustar los contenidos

Apoyos en la preparación de la propuesta: el con Quién?

• Consultora de apoyo para darle seriedad al proceso (transmitir la

señal de qué es importante-apuesta y no cometer errores formales) • Revisores externos

• Perfil de negocio • Perfil evaluador de proyectos europeos

• Pedir ayuda al CDTI, Innobasque, SPRI, etc. y otros agentes que pueden aconsejar
