Within each course, the latest trends and developments within a specific theme are discussed and you are given concrete tools to get started. As an SME from Limburg, you can claim 75% reimbursement of the costs for these knowledge programmes by submitting an application to us through the CollectiefProject.
Toward a sustainable province!
Within the CollectiveProject SMEs in Limburg are encouraged and supported in the development of innovative products, services, processes and/or business models that have both economic potential and impact on the social issues 'smart, sustainable and healthy'.

Three projects are starting!
on current topics
In cooperation with Limburg educational institutions (HAS, Fontys), LIOF organizes three Collective Projects, on specific themes. The substantive master classes will take place from October to January 2022, after which several students will implement an enterprise issue on an individual company level. This takes place during the period February to June 2022.
The following CollectiveProjects are now open for enrollment:
Smart Innovation with the HAS and Fontys; with the topics of automation and digitalization, robotization and sensor techniques, analytical techniques or biomonitoring;
Big Data with the HAS; with the topics of understanding opportunities of big data, governance of data (what can and should I do with it), internal and external data and the connection between data and customers;
Healthy and safe food with the HAS; with the topics of protein transition, target group nutrition, smart packaging concepts, healthy living environment but also specific topics such as apps for personalized nutrition patterns or technological issues.
What are the costs?
The costs for such a trajectory - both the masterclasses and the implementation trajectories - are normally € 11.000. LIOF supports the Collective Projects with € 7.500. This limits the costs for the entrepreneur to € 3.500.
