With GrantHero, I did a brain dump and what came back captured everything I thought was valuable, inside the word count. Whatever Mark's doing, he's obviously got some secret sauce beyond just Claude.”

Programmes that fit
Most of the calls above come from a few large, recurring programmes. Worth knowing by name: they reopen on a cycle, and each one is looking for something specific.
The main Innovate UK route for energy, transport and industrial decarbonisation. Collaborative R&D at TRL 4-7, with a strong steer towards deployable technology and measurable carbon savings.
Cross-border R&D for SMEs, run through Eureka. A strong route for a UK clean-tech company with an EU partner on storage, hydrogen or grid, and a different competitive field from the domestic calls.
European deep-tech scale-up funding, grant plus optional equity. Strong fit for storage, grid and hydrogen technologies approaching first commercial deployment.
What assessors actually score
Net zero bids lose marks in predictable places. Our AI Assessor scores every answer against the real criteria, and a bid-writer who has sat on the other side tells you where it's still thin.
