NSBproject srl

NSBproject Srl is an Italian innovation management and strategic consulting company specialised in Research, Development & Innovation (RDI). We support companies, clusters, research organisations, and public institutions in transforming R&D investments into market impact through a comprehensive approach that integrates technology, business strategy, funding opportunities, partnership building, and commercialisation pathways.

Our mission is to help organisations navigate the entire lifecycle of innovation, from identifying investment opportunities and creating R&D roadmaps to implementing projects, validating market readiness, and scaling innovative solutions. We operate as an active partner alongside our clients, combining strategic consultancy with hands-on execution.

NSBproject offers four integrated service areas:

• National R&D incentives and grants, supporting companies in accessing fiscal incentives, grants, financial instruments, reporting, and compliance activities.
• R&D strategic consultancy, covering innovation planning, technology development strategies, partnership building, project implementation, and market readiness assessment.
• European R&D alliances, supporting the creation of international consortia, partner scouting, proposal development, pilot coordination, and deployment of EU-funded projects.
• Technology scouting and technology transfer, helping organisations bring research results to market through exploitation strategies, communication, dissemination, market validation, and go-to-market planning.

Our core expertise spans several high-impact sectors, including Circular Bioeconomy, Smart & Sustainable Industry, Advanced Manufacturing, Health Technologies, Digital Health, Smart Agri-Food, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Advanced Materials, and sustainability-driven innovation. We actively support organisations involved in Europe’s green and digital transitions.

NSBproject is deeply embedded in the European innovation ecosystem. The company participates in multiple Horizon Europe and EU-funded projects, collaborates with universities, research centres, industrial partners, SMEs, clusters, investors, and institutional stakeholders across Europe, and is an active member of several European partnerships and innovation networks, including the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).

A distinctive element of our approach is C-Tech Navigator®, our proprietary AI-powered innovation intelligence platform. The tool supports technology scouting, competitive intelligence, ecosystem mapping, partnership identification, prior-art analysis, and strategic decision-making, enabling evidence-based innovation management and more effective R&D investments.

At NSBproject, we connect research, innovation, industry, and market opportunities to create sustainable growth, competitive advantage, and measurable impact. We help organisations turn ideas into funded projects, projects into innovation, and innovation into business value.
