In the second round of the KIEM HighTech 2024 scheme, 32 project proposals were submitted, of which 23 have been accepted and will start soon. In these projects, 45 companies, of which 40 are SMEs, will collaborate with knowledge institutes on technologically-oriented innovation issues from practice. The topics of the projects relate, for example, to measuring physiological stress in babies, machine learning for SME production companies, quantum sensors for soil measurements, inspection of wafers with microscopy and 3D printing of large objects.
Leo Warmerdam, director of Holland High Tech: “We have learned from the first two rounds that with the KIEM HighTech subsidy scheme we are responding to the great interest from the field for short-term research on technological issues of small and medium-sized businesses. With the scheme we support innovations from companies and strengthen cooperation between SMEs and research from universities of applied sciences. We look forward to another successful third round.”
The third and final submission date for the KIEM HighTech 2024 is 8 October 2024. The maximum number of awarded projects in the third round is 12.
