NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT – HORIZON EUROPE CLUSTER 5
New Business Development
NEODERU Advisory supports the strategic lifecycle of green energy assets from greenfield origination to fully operational, revenue-generating commercialization. NEODERU advises across all core phases: Origination, Permitting & Licensing, Business Planning, Engineering Oversight, Project Management, and Go-To-Market Execution.
Specialized in Horizon Europe Cluster 5 (Climate, Energy & Mobility)
NEODERU Advisory operates at the exact intersection where Japan's Green Transformation (GX) policy meets the strategic goals of the European Green Deal.
Cluster 5 projects - such as hydrogen fuel cells, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and next-generation solid-state batteries - demand heavy engineering and high-value intellectual property (IP). This frequently creates structural friction between Europe's emphasis on "Open Science" and Japanese industry's traditionally protective stance on proprietary technology.
NEODERU’s Value Proposition
-
Strategic IP Structuring: Supporting the complex negotiation of the Consortium Agreement to clearly delineate Background IP from Foreground IP, securely protecting Japanese technology assets while enabling seamless European collaboration.
-
Co-Funding Timeline Alignment: Harmonizing funding rules, operational milestones, and strict reporting timelines when project support is split between the European Commission and Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
