Meet the expert: MARTIN STANFORD

I am an experienced Innovation Consultant, specialising in soft funding from competitive funding schemes, like the €2.5M EIC Accelerator, the £500k Innovate UK Smart Grant, and the new Swiss Startup Innovation Project. I have a PhD in chemistry and broad experience developing business plans for technological startups in industries ranging from cleantech to biotech and artificial intelligence to health innovation.

I enjoy working with fast-paced, disruptive, and motivated companies looking to take their projects to the next level. I help transfer technological innovation into creative and compelling business strategies, including intellectual property, fundraising, business modelling, market analysis, and more, to secure public funding and bring game-changing products to market quickly and effectively. I have worked on dozens of proposals and know what it takes to get projects funded in the most competitive environments.
