Our role

A solid application,an admissible project.

We support you in putting together your Fonds Bleu application, in partnership with a Monaco-based provider.

We do not act on behalf of the Government and do not guarantee that funding will be granted. Our job: turning an intention into a structured, quantified and defensible project that meets the eligibility criteria.

  • Scope an eligible project. The audit identifies high-value use cases and sets aside what falls outside the scheme.
  • Quantify and justify. Business plan, expected return, technical scope: all argued, as the review requires.
  • Deploy the solution. Once funding is secured, the solution goes into production, with data hosted in Monaco or on a private European cloud.
  • Measure the results. Gain indicators and tracking, useful for the application as well as for your management.
