I wanted to mention this as an idea for the future. EU government
organizations do procurements as long-term contracts on which companies
have to bid. The government organization will not seek out a company and
ask. On the other hand, winning a bid may secure as much funding as this
crowdfunding campaign. However, I’m not familiar enough with such bids,
so I may be wrong.
