Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Costa is a Partner and COO at Innovayt with over a decade guiding R&D&I funding strategy and operations, having shaped 150+ proposals and helped secure €125M+ across H2020, Eurostars and national programmes. He combines deep technical credibility—a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering and 11 years as a researcher/post‑doc with 25 peer‑reviewed papers—with practical teaching and consultancy experience, including invited professorships at the University of Minho. At Innovayt he moved from project developer to executive, leading delivery, quality assurance and pitch training that transformed complex science into fundable ventures. Beyond grants and operations, he brings a creative, analytical eye as a semi‑professional photographer with international awards and a published photo book, a detail that often surfaces in his disciplined yet imaginative approach to problem solving.
