We help you to get funded

Shaping Diamonds is partnered with OFAP.eu, Open Funding Alliance and Platform, which supports companies in securing EU funding, offers industry insights and ensures successful long-term EU projects. 

Our team also has experience in applying for governmental grants and loans. We have submitted 50+ funding applications to Business Finland and the ELY Centre in Finland with positive outcomes. Our founder Tomi Räsänen also acted as an official Development Service Consultant for ELY.

Here's how the process with OFAP.eu works

OFAP has a good track record on identifying funding opportunities in EU for various development ideas across diverse industries. The process is clear and efficient, so you can focus on your business' needs while OFAP tracks funding possibilities in the background.

Validation meeting

We always start with a strategy discussion, where we outline your business stage, your offering and future development ideas. 

Drafting concepts

We workshop your development ideas together and create clear concepts from your offering to match funding possibilities within EU.

Tracking open funding possibilities

We actively track open calls, new funding possibilities and forthcoming opportunities. When we see a matching call with your concept, we'll let you know. 

Application

If we agree on a  possibility, we'll create the funding application together in the respective funding portal and ensure everything is as it should be for a higher chance of acceptance.
