My organisation
About me
I am the founder of NorthglowAI, where I work at the intersection of innovation strategy, AI-driven digitalisation, and EU funding. My focus is on helping organisations translate complex ideas across RTD, with an addition, but not exclusive to, biotech, life sciences, and broader deep tech and innovation domains into structured, fundable, and scalable projects. I specialise in designing and positioning collaborative R&D initiatives, supporting partners across the full lifecycle from opportunity identification and consortium building to proposal development and execution. This includes aligning projects with frameworks such as Eureka and Horizon Europe, ensuring they meet both technical ambition and market-oriented impact requirements. A core part of my work is enabling effective cooperation. I actively connect SMEs, research institutions, and industry partners, structuring collaborations that are not only eligible for funding but also positioned for successful implementation and long-term value creation. Currently, I am expanding AI-enhanced programmes that support partnership building and project development across entrepreneurial and research environments, strengthening how individuals and organisations identify, form, and execute high-quality collaborations. At the Summit, I am focused on engaging with partners across sectors, contributing to consortium formation, and supporting the development of strong, outcome-driven projects within the Eureka ecosystem.
