Objective: accelerating the energy transition

The DEI+ scheme aims to support pilot and demonstration projects that contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions. The grant is intended for projects that test innovative technologies which help facilitate the transition from fossil fuels to sustainably generated energy.

For: pilot and demonstration projects

The DEI+ scheme supports pilot projects and demonstration projects.

  • A pilot project is an experimental project in which innovative measures are tested in environments that are representative of operation under real-world conditions.
  • A demonstration project involves investing in an application that delivers environmental benefits within your own company. You remain the owner of the installation after the project has ended, and the installation continues to be used.

Depending on the size and complexity

The amount of funding available through the DEI+ scheme varies and depends on the size and complexity of your project. The total budget is determined annually by the government.

When you are an Enablemi client, we monitor all announcements and deadlines on your behalf. This allows us to submit a correct and complete application together and on time. The result: you can make the most of this funding opportunity.

Provided by RVO

You apply for the DEI+ scheme through the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). Applications are assessed in the order in which they are received and are awarded funding when they meet the scheme’s requirements. Enablemi monitors the process and ensures that your application is submitted completely, correctly and 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.
