In the Netherlands there are hundreds of grants originating from the European Union, the national government and the regional governments. In addition to government grants, there are numerous supports available from private funds and organizations. Subsidies, loans and tax incentives are handed out to promote (specific) Research and Development. The application requirements for grants have become more and more complicated over the last few years. As a result of this, the Dutch business, trade and industry seldom utilizes all the possibilities.
TechForce Innovations translates the activities which are considered eligible for subsidies into clear, well-organized applications. TechForce Innovations performs on the “no cure no pay” concept the following activities:
▪ discussion of the project with the customer and the funding provider
▪ drafting of a project plan
▪ looking after all other requisites such as application forms
▪ corresponding with the funding provider
▪ writing the financial midterm reports and the final report
Besides subsidies, there are several tax incentives in the Netherlands to encourage the use of energy efficient and environmental friendly equipment. TechForce Innovations can also look after applications for grants for these type of incentives.
