Support for Network Activities
Holland High Tech supports activities that bring SMEs and research organizations together. The goal is to foster innovation, share knowledge, and showcase research and development. Whether you're looking for inspiration, expertise, or the right collaboration partners, these events are the perfect place to expand your network and stay up to date with the latest developments.
How does it work?
Through our program, we focus on Networking Activities that contribute to:
- Engaging SMEs in research and innovation.
- Information sharing and knowledge dissemination about the latest technological developments.
- Connecting SMEs with educational and research institutions in roadmaps or urgent transitions.
As an industry partner of Holland High Tech, you can apply for funding for one or more Networking Activities that contribute to one or more roadmaps or urgent transitions.
Not an industry partner but organizing an event that aligns with our roadmaps or urgent transitions? Contact us to discuss the possibilities.
