Are you looking to boost your space business? Discover the NL Space Campus Voucher Arrangement!
At the NL Space Campus Network & Drinks event last Thursday, the NL Space Campus announced the launch of the new NL Space Campus Voucher Arrangement, supported by Kansen voor West and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). This initiative helps startups develop and grow, providing subsidies that allow them to refine their ideas and establish successful businesses. It enhances the business environment by offering financial support and access to expertise. This voucher arrangement stimulates strategic autonomy by investing in key technologies and assisting ambitious startups and scale-ups.
The Vouchers
NL Space Campus offers startups, scale-ups, and companies an attractive rate for establishing themselves on our campus, offering three voucher options:
Advisory voucher
Subsidy max. €15,000
100% subsidy
The advisory vouchers offer subsidies for hiring experts and accessing facilities or services to support SMEs’ early-stage experiments and innovation challenges.
Establishment voucher
Subsidy max. €15,000
50% subsidy/50% own contribution
The establishment voucher provides financial support for renting or furnishing office or production facilities at NL Space Campus.
