To stay at the international top, it is essential for SMEs to keep innovating. Holland High Tech encourages SME entrepreneurs in the high-tech systems and materials sector to participate(r) in Research & Development in high-tech, materials, the urgent transitions and the development of key technologies. To further stimulate the involvement of SMEs in research and innovation projects, the SME High Tech call 2024 was created.
With this new call, Holland High Tech allows SMEs to determine the research direction. As an entrepreneur, you determine which industrial research supports your company’s wishes and needs for research and innovation. This takes the form of industrial research activities carried out jointly by an SME (or a consortium of SMEs) in collaboration with a research organisation. The SME itself receives a subsidy. Holland High Tech can offer support in finding suitable cooperation partners to form consortia between an SME and a research organisation.
The call focuses on the following innovation domains:
- Optical systems and integrated photonics
- Mechatronics and Opto mechatronics
- Smart Industry
- Quantum technologies
- Energy materials
- Systems engineering
- Imaging technologies
- Semiconductor technologies
Project proposals can be submitted from 16 December 2024 (12.00h) to 19 December 2024 (12.00h). The deadline for submitting a detailed project plan is no later than 27 February 2025.
More information about this call, the conditions, and the submission can be found on the website of Holland High Tech. ,
