Innovatie­krediet

Innovatiekrediet (innovation credit) is a risk-bearing financing instrument which supports SMEs with the development of promising innovations that have an excellent market perspective. This credit allows businesses without the necessary means to fund themselves to turn a prototype into a fully developed and finished product.

Why Innovatiekrediet?

The innovation credit has a broad application. It aims to help businesses that offer technological innovation, and especially those that offer a strong and unique positive business perspective to the own company and the Dutch economy.
