Healthier ageing, sufficient clean water, plastic-free waters, sufficient and healthy food, a safe Netherlands in which to live and work. This is just a small selection of the many societal challenges that require new transitions. And you, as a high-tech professional, can contribute to that! As an SME you can use the MIT scheme for this. This subsidy scheme stimulates innovation projects, and can be just that helping hand to get that innovative project off the ground. For example, two instruments of the MIT grant scheme will open on 4 April 2023: feasibility projects and knowledge vouchers. A 'first come, first serve' principle applies to both: so be on time!

The MIT has various instruments: R&D collaboration projects, feasibility studies and knowledge vouchers. In addition, money is available for Network Activities and Innovation Brokers. We offer the latter two as Holland High Tech.
