The DEI+ consists of two types of projects:

  • Pilot project: testing a new technology in practice.
  • Demonstration project: showing that an innovative technology works at a larger scale in practice.

It focuses on several themes:

  • Energy and climate innovations
  • Gasification of residual streams
  • Sustainability of the built environment
  • Hydrogen / green chemistry
  • Biobased circular economy

Key conditions

  • Only for companies and partnerships
  • The project must lead to CO₂ reduction or energy savings
  • The technology must be innovative and not yet widely applied

We think along with you!

We make sure your application is strong in substance and aligns well with the requirements. We also look beyond just the VEKI: does it fit your situation, or might another scheme be more suitable?

Applying through RVO

You can apply for the VEKI through RVO. Make sure to do this on time, as the budget is limited. We monitor the process and ensure your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time.

To make this clear and easy to read for you, we have rewritten the legal text of the scheme. Therefore, no rights can be derived from this text.

Tip from Enablemi

Make sure your project has a unique concept. According to the rules, your project is considered sufficiently innovative if a similar project has received DEI+ funding no more than twice before. Also make sure to clearly identify your demonstrable technical risks, as this is an important part of the assessment.
