About us - Netherlands Innovation Network
The Netherlands Innovation Network identifies opportunities for innovation and R&D as well as supporting you in connecting with innovative parties abroad by:
- Providing knowledge and information on the latest innovation, technology and science developments around the world.
- Connecting to potential partners abroad
- Organizing innovation missions, seminars, workshops and matchmaking events abroad: identifying funding mechanisms for bi- and multilateral cooperation.
In the following countries and areas the Netherlands Innovation Network can assist in connecting with potential partners. They operate from embassies and consulates.
The Netherlands Innovation Network is housed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and acts on behalf of The Ministry of Economic Affairs. RVO works to improve Dutch innovation capacity by facilitating cooperation between Dutch companies, knowledge institutions and government bodies and innovative foreign counterparts, or by improving their information position on trends and developments abroad.
The target groups are Dutch knowledge-intensive companies, knowledge and research institutions (universities, applied, research institutions etc.) and government organisations which play a role in the area of knowledge and innovation.
The network also contributes to the group-wide aims of the economic affairs section and works with the NFIA to raise the profile of the Dutch Knowledge economy across the value chain, promoting the Netherlands as an attractive partner for cooperation and investment.
