LC Innoconsult Ltd.

The company started as a project proposal writer in 1992. In early 2000s innovation got in focus. First in Hungary became a market leader then the company started to expend its activities to foreign countries. Also started new services, such as technology transfer, training on proposal writing, mentoring of start-ups.

As the Hungarian market saturated in mid 2010s the company decided to focus more on international markets and leave the Hungarian proposal writer market which became a crowded space.

Since that the company redefined its mission and became an international commercialization consultant. The current activities cover the above-mentioned main activities.

In Horizon2020/Europe we have the following activities:

-          partner for non-technical tasks, mainly as a WP leader – 15 projects

-          external consultant on exploitation for ongoing projects – 80+ projects

-          training on Horizon – 7 trainings

These activities provided us an experience based broad understanding of various aspects of Horizon project including selection of relevant calls, partner search, project development, project implementation. It also resulted in an extensive contact network throughout Europe and beyond.

Our technology transfer activities are global. Our partnerships cover most developed countries. We have strong collaboration with China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, India, US and Europe.
