About

Horizon Europe is the European Union's key funding program for research and innovation, running from 2021 to 2027. Administered in the Netherlands by RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency), it aims to increase Europe's competitiveness through science and innovation and find solutions for societal challenges. It provides financial support for international collaboration in research, technological development, and innovation across sectors including health, digital, climate, and industry.

Investment profile
Investment thesis
RVO's core investment thesis is to stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation within the Netherlands by enhancing the availability of risk capital for early-stage companies. They achieve this by providing interest-free loans to private investment funds, enabling these funds to invest in innovative tech and creative startups. This strategy aims to bridge funding gaps for nascent businesses and encourage private sector investment in higher-risk, high-potential ventures.
