Nationaal Groeifonds (Dutch National Growth Fund)

The Nationaal Groeifonds (Dutch National Growth Fund) is a Dutch government initiative established to invest in projects that contribute to the Netherlands' sustainable and structural economic growth. The fund supports high-potential programs across various sectors, aiming to increase national earning capacity and benefit society. It functions by providing grants and subsidies to initiatives in areas like knowledge development, research, and innovation, rather than direct venture capital investments in startups. An independent committee assesses project applications based on their potential for economic growth and societal impact.
