A Lithuanian industrial automation company (name confidential), supported by ProBaltic Consulting, secured €380,293 in non-dilutive R&D funding for developing autonomous mobile robot (AMR) technologies for industrial logistics.
The project
The R&D programme focused on autonomous mobile robots for industrial intralogistics — the class of technology that moves materials through factories and warehouses without fixed infrastructure. Developing AMR capability means resolving genuine technological uncertainty in navigation, fleet behaviour and integration with existing production environments, which is precisely what qualifies such work as R&D under EU funding rules.
What we did
ProBaltic Consulting handled the funding side end-to-end: assessed the project’s eligibility against the measure’s R&D criteria, prepared the full application with all annexes, and supported the project through to the signed grant agreement.
Why non-dilutive funding matters here
Robotics R&D is capital-hungry long before it generates revenue. Grant funding of this kind covers a substantial share of development costs without giving up equity — for a technology company, €380K of non-dilutive money at the R&D stage preserves ownership precisely when valuations are lowest.
The result
The application was funded and the grant agreement concluded. The company’s AMR development programme proceeded with a materially lower financing burden — and with an eligibility and documentation base that makes follow-on funding rounds (later-stage R&D, pilot deployment measures) faster to prepare.
