Subsidy Mission-driven Research, Development and Innovation (MOOI)

Do you work on a project that can help realise the goals listed in the National Climate Agreement? And do you work together with other parties? You may be eligible for the subsidy for Mission-driven Research, Development and Innovation (MOOI, in Dutch).

The scheme covers the following categories:

• electricity (in Dutch)
• built environment (in Dutch)
• industry (in Dutch)
• bio-based circular (in Dutch)

You can apply for up to €4,000,000 per project. The minimum amount per participant is €25,000.

When do you qualify?

You can apply for the MOOI subsidy if:

• You work together with at least 3 other parties.
• You follow a multidisciplinary approach, where small and medium enterprises (SMEs) work together with stakeholders, such as suppliers, users, and local parties.
• You have an innovation plan with SMART (Specific Measurable Assignable Realistic Time-related) objectives.
• At least €2.000.000 of the project’s costs should qualify for funding.
• Expenses for research organisations cannot be more than 50% of the subsidised costs.

How to apply?

The mandatory pre-application (in Dutch) opens from 19 March to 18 April 2024. During this period, you and your partnership can submit a pre-application of your project. An advisory committee will give advice on your pre-submission. You will need this advice to apply for the scheme.

You can apply for the MOOI 2024 scheme from 4 June until 5 September 2024 at the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO).
