Finance & Funding Scout

KHiNNOVA GMBH provides end‑to‑end project development, funding strategy, and implementation support for organisations across Austria, the EU, and international markets. My services include comprehensive funding and funding‑partner scouting for national and European programmes such as FFG, Horizon Europe, and their embedded cluster initiatives. I guide clients from early ideation through consortium building, proposal preparation, and long‑term project execution.

A dedicated service line focuses on Finance Scouting for Start‑ups, supporting young companies in identifying suitable funding instruments, investor pathways, and strategic financing options across all maturity stages. This includes the development of finance‑ready business and technology concepts. Start‑ups benefit from structured guidance to build scalable organisations, secure early‑stage capital, and position themselves effectively within competitive funding landscapes.

With more than 20 years of experience in the chemical industry, I bring deep expertise in leading high‑performing teams, managing strategic investments, and optimising process technologies for efficiency and innovation. My background spans large‑scale industrial operations as well as advanced research and development for cutting‑edge solutions. As a certified Sustainability Management Expert, I help organisations embed sustainable practices into core business strategies, strengthening resilience, regulatory alignment, and long‑term competitiveness.
