OPZuid
The Operational Programme South Netherlands 2014-2020 (OPZuid) is a European funding program for the provinces of Zeeland, Limburg and North Brabant promoting innovation and the transition to a low carbon economy. The program is focused on innovative SMEs and strengthening collaboration between industry, universities and governments. OPZuid stimulates innovation by supporting crossovers between international top clusters (high-tech systems, chemicals and agro-food) and between national top clusters with international potential (life sciences & health, bio-based, logistics and maintenance). Carbon energy focuses on smart deployment in the built environment.
MIT Southern
The Subsidy SME innovation stimulating Top Sectors South (MIT Southern) streamlines the financial instruments aimed at stimulating innovation in SMEs.
