The Valorisation 2026 subsidy supports innovative projects that are progressing towards market application. The scheme encourages the further development, testing and demonstration of new products, processes and services that have an impact on the Northern Netherlands.
Both SMEs and partnerships are eligible, provided that the project results and economic value benefit the region. The emphasis is on innovations that contribute to societal themes such as sustainability, circularity, digitalisation and health.
Enablemi provides clear guidance on applying this funding scheme, enabling organisations to quickly understand the opportunities and conditions.
Objective: Stimulate innovation and knowledge development
he objective of the Valorisation subsidy, administered by SNN and funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), is to stimulate innovative projects that generate economic and societal impact in the Northern Netherlands. The scheme enables the development, testing and demonstration of innovative prototypes, products, services and processes.
Collaboration and connections between businesses, knowledge institutions and innovative networks are central to the scheme. This ensures that knowledge is shared effectively and that projects contribute to a smarter, greener, more social and more inclusive Northern Netherlands. The focus is on harnessing regional strengths and supporting transitions in sustainability, digitalisation and health.
For: technology, digitalization and sustainability
The ERDF Valorisation SNN subsidy is primarily aimed at SMEs in the Northern Netherlands, but also allows other organisations to participate. These organisations may be based either within or outside the region. However, the project results must ultimately benefit the Northern Netherlands.
Provided by SNN
Applications for the Valorisation SNN subsidy can be submitted through the official website of the Northern Netherlands Alliance (SNN). The application process consists of two stages: an initial application on which you receive feedback, followed by the full application. Enablemi guides you through every stage and supports the successful implementation of your project.
The scheme has a fixed budget. The order in which complete applications are received plays a role in their assessment and approval. Collaboration is not mandatory, but it is encouraged and rewarded with a higher subsidy percentage to strengthen the innovation ecosystem in the Northern Netherlands.
Financing determined per project
- The subsidy amounts to a minimum of €250,000 and a maximum of €1,000,000 per project.
- The standard subsidy percentage is 35% and may increase to a maximum of 50% of eligible costs, depending on collaboration with other companies and/or knowledge institutions.
