Technical sustainability and environmental support for EU innovation projects in progress.
LCA, LCC, TEA, exploitation planning, stakeholder engagement and deliverable writing for Horizon Europe consortia and research-to-market innovation projects.
EU projects need technical sustainability support that understands the project context
Horizon Europe and similar EU-funded innovation projects have specific requirements for environmental assessment, exploitation planning and stakeholder engagement — and these must be delivered within the project's work plan and reporting structure.
Generic sustainability consulting rarely fits well in this context. Gecko Innovation SL works within EU project structures and understands the relationship between technology readiness levels, deliverable requirements and the expectations of the European Commission and project reviewers.
Note on scope: This page covers support for projects that are already funded and running. If you are still writing a proposal, the Grants, Proposals and Technical Writing solution is more relevant.
EU project support services
Sustainability Work Package Leadership and Delivery
Design, lead or contribute to sustainability work packages within EU projects. We work within the project's WP structure, coordinate with consortium partners and deliver outputs aligned with the DoA and project timeline.
We can help with
- WP leadership and coordination across partners

- Deliverable drafting and quality review
- Alignment with project KPIs and indicators
- Reporting for periodic reviews
WP progress reports, deliverable documents, review meeting contributions, partner coordination outputs.
LCA, LCC and TEA Within EU Project Frameworks
Environmental assessment integrated with the project's technology readiness progression. We deliver LCA and LCC studies aligned with EU project requirements — from early-stage screening at low TRL to comparative assessments at higher TRL.
Techno-economic analysis (TEA) is also available where project scope includes cost modelling alongside environmental performance.
We can help with
- TRL-linked environmental screening and hotspot LCA
- Full comparative LCA for technology assessment
- LCC aligned with EU project cost categories
- TEA for process and product innovations
- Reporting for project deliverables and publications
LCA study deliverable, LCC analysis, TEA report, environmental assessment chapter for project publications.
Exploitation Strategy and Business Model Support
Exploitation planning for EU projects that goes beyond the standard template. We help consortia develop credible exploitation strategies with defined routes to market, business model analysis and clear responsibilities across partners.
We can help with
- Exploitation pathway definition per result type
- Business model canvas and value proposition
- Market readiness and commercialisation pathway
- IP landscape and protection considerations
- Partner exploitation roles and responsibilities
Exploitation plan deliverable, business model summary, commercialisation roadmap, IP mapping.
Stakeholder Engagement and Technical Communication
Stakeholder mapping, engagement planning and technical communication materials for EU projects. We help projects identify and reach relevant stakeholders and produce communication outputs that are clear, credible and appropriate for the audience.
We can help with
- Stakeholder mapping and segmentation
- Engagement strategy and communication plan
- Technical factsheets and project summaries
- Policy briefs and stakeholder reports
- Communication review and editing
Stakeholder map, engagement plan, factsheets, project summary, policy brief, communication materials.
