Objective: Support international growth and innovation
The DHI subsidy stimulates international growth and innovation among Dutch SMEs. It is intended to increase the export and export opportunities for Dutch products and services, and to strengthen the position of Dutch companies in the international market. The DHI scheme contributes to sustainable development locally.
For: feasibility and investment studies, among others
The DHI grant is intended for three types of projects: feasibility studies, investment preparation studies, and demonstration projects. These projects must all aim to expand and improve your company’s international activities.
Applications to RVO
You apply for the DHI subsidy from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). It’s important to do this on time, as the subsidy budget is limited and usually doesn’t last the entire year. We understand the ins and outs and ensure your application is received on time.
Subsidy up to 70%
The amount of the subsidy depends on the type of project. For green projects, it can amount to up to 70% of the eligible costs. The DHI can therefore significantly contribute to lowering the financial barriers to international expansion for your business.

Tip from Enablemi
Have you already taken steps in the target country? Then your costs are no longer eligible!
If you have export ambitions, you should therefore determine in advance whether the DHI or another scheme is suitable for your project. We always collaborate with our clients and proactively advise them on the best options.
