Enablemi

What Enablemi does

Enablemi is a Netherlands-based innovation and subsidy consulting firm founded in 2011, headquartered in Groningen with a regional office in Eindhoven. The firm delivers end-to-end grant advisory services to companies, governments, and knowledge institutions through four interconnected service modules: Find & Match (subsidy identification against the Dutch/EU funding landscape), Create (project development and consortium building), Write (grant application writing), and Comply & Manage (project administration and compliance). A self-service Subsidie Checker web tool provides a quick eligibility indication and serves as a top-of-funnel asset for the core consulting engagement. The offering is explicitly professional services — no proprietary software platform, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capability.

The firm is sales-led B2B with pricing that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, drawing on a team of approximately 21 innovation consultants with backup specialists per project. Thematic focus spans energy transition, healthy ageing, and sustainability, all mapped to UN Sustainable Development Goals. The client roster is horizontal across industries and includes Alliander, Stedin and Intergas (energy); UMCG, 's Heeren Loo Zorg, NeuroRC (healthcare); TU/e, RUG, HAN University of Applied Sciences (higher education); Gemeente Groningen, Provincie Drenthe (government); and TNO (applied research), alongside smaller clients such as De Jong's IJs in food.

Enablemi's growth posture is anchored by ecosystem partnerships with HANNN, New Energy Coalition, Impact Noord, The Gate, Koploperbos, and Team SOLID. In 2025 the firm received the FD Gazellen award from Het Financieele Dagblad, publicly positioning it among the fastest-growing Dutch companies. The ownership structure is not publicly disclosed; no parent company, no funding rounds, and no M&A appear in available material.

Others

• RVO (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland): RVO is the Dutch governmental agency that administers many innovation subsidy programs. While not a direct competitor (RVO is the issuer, not an applicant advisor), Enablemi's customers use RVO's programs and RVO's processes fundamentally shape Enablemi's service requirements.

Direct peers

• Catalyze: Catalyze is a Dutch consultancy focused on sustainable innovation, funding, and project development — closely aligned with Enablemi's energy transition and sustainability verticals. Comparable service offering for SMEs, corporates, and public sector clients in the Netherlands.
• PNO Consultants: PNO is a leading European innovation and grant consultancy with strong Dutch presence (originally Dutch-founded). It covers similar services — finding, applying for, and managing EU and national innovation funding — and serves many of the same enterprise, university, and government customers across sectors.
• Bax & Company: Bax & Company is a European innovation consultancy that helps organizations access funding and build innovation projects, with offices in the Netherlands and Spain. Direct overlap in grant consulting services, consortium building, and project management for innovation-focused clients.
• Hezelburcht: Hezelburcht is one of the largest independent Dutch subsidy and innovation consultancies, offering grant application support, consortium building, and project management — the same end-to-end lifecycle that Enablemi covers. Direct overlap in customer segment (companies, knowledge institutions, governments) and Dutch market.
• Seederde Boer: Seederde Boer is a Dutch consultancy specializing in subsidy applications, particularly for SMEs and innovation projects. Comparable service scope in grant identification, writing, and compliance — a regional/smaller-scale direct competitor in the Dutch market.
• KplusV: KplusV is a Dutch consulting firm with a strong practice in subsidy advisory, innovation project development, and EU funding programs. It serves public and private clients in the Netherlands across similar verticals to Enablemi, with a comparable people-driven, project-based delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Berenschot: Berenschot is a large Dutch management and policy consultancy with broader service portfolio (strategy, HR, public sector) but includes subsidy/innovation advisory work. Comparable in customer base (Dutch government, universities, large corporates) but not specialized in grants the way Enablemi is.
• KPMG Netherlands (Innovation & Grants practice): KPMG's Dutch practice includes subsidy and innovation funding advisory within its broader tax and consulting portfolio. Targets the same enterprise and government customers, offering bundled services that can compete with Enablemi's standalone proposition.

Regional players

• EuroProject: EuroProject is a European innovation and project management consultancy with a strong focus on EU funding programs. Comparable in grant lifecycle support and project management but operates across multiple EU geographies rather than focusing on the Dutch market.
