Additional national funding

Through the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO), extra budget (national co-financing) is available from the Dutch government for selected topics that are not fully funded by the European program. With this co-financing, you as a Dutch party can be reimbursed for a larger part of your project costs.
