Topsector ICT Opening €4 Million Call for Public-Private Collaboration SMEs

In June, a new grant call will open from Topsector ICT for public-private partnerships within SMEs. A total of EUR 4 million is available for research organisations and companies - especially SMEs. In particular, this new grant call encourages SMEs and knowledge institutions to jointly invest in R&D with the aim of developing sustainable innovative products and services within the ICT sector and adjacent sectors. The grant is intended for both existing and new consortia led by an SME.

The call is expected to open in June. More information about the call and the pre-application application form will be published via this website in the near future.

Topsector ICT is organising a matchmaking event on Thursday 12 June 2025, in The Hague to promote and support the formation of consortia. This will bring together potential applicants, collaboration partners and representatives of other parties, such as companies or civil society organisations from relevant fields. There will be ample opportunity to ask questions, inform each other about plans and projects and to network. Afterwards, lunch will be served.
