2. Research and Development, BETWEEN 2 SME companies (1 in NL and 1 in D) gives via Eurostars 35% to 50% subsidy, Up To 500ke. A knowledge institution can also be a partner. An alternative arrangement may be Eureka, depending on the time of application.
3. The entire east side of the Netherlands: are you in the so-called Interreg area of the Netherlands? You can see that here . And is it an option to cooperate with a German party in the German Interreg area? Then there are 3 additional arrangements now possible.
   1. Interreg innovation vouchers up to 20kE or higher,
