New Grant Round for the Cybersecurity Innovation Fund (CIF-NL)

Coming Soon: New Grant Round for the Cybersecurity Innovation Fund (CIF-NL)

The Netherlands Cybersecurity Coordination Centre (NCC-NL), in collaboration with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), will soon open a new round of grants for the Cybersecurity Innovation Fund (CIF-NL).

The CIF-NL aims to support Dutch companies in developing innovative cybersecurity solutions that contribute to strengthening the Netherlands’ overall cyber resilience. This new funding round focuses on two key themes:

• Enhancing crypto-agility – enabling organisations to quickly and reliably manage and update cryptographic tools such as algorithms, keys, and certificates.

• Simplifying cybersecurity solutions – encouraging innovation that makes cyber protection more accessible and efficient for users and organisations.

Information Session – 9 December 2025

To provide more insight into the CIF-NL grant and its opportunities, RVO is organising an information session on 9 December 2025 at the NBC Congress Centre in Nieuwegein.

During this event, participants will gain a clear understanding of the grant conditions, focus areas, and application process. The programme includes presentations, examples from previous CIF-NL rounds, and a Q&A session with experts from RVO and NCC-NL.

Afterwards, attendees are invited to a networking reception; an excellent opportunity to connect with cybersecurity advisors and fellow innovators in the field.
