R&D Collaboration
Growing and innovating together
At least two SMEs innovate or develop a product, production process or service in a collaborative R&D project. The ultimate goal is to ensure your company continues to grow. The cooperation with another Limburg SME will also augment your knowledge.
A feasibility project involves identifying the technical and economic risks of a proposed development. This may be supplemented by a small amount of industrial research or development. This will give you a clear impression of the resources you need to carry out the project.
Would you like a face-to-face meeting to see whether your company is eligible for the MIT Zuid grant scheme? You're always welcome: we’ll be pleased to help.
