Are you an entrepreneur in Flevoland with an innovative idea but struggling to secure funding? Then there is good news! The new Innovation Fund Flevoland supports you in an early stage. When regular investors are still cautious to invest, the Innovation Fund fills that gap.
Whether you want to build a prototype, test a product, or prepare your service for the market: this fund gives you the financial space to move forward.
What does the fund offer?
- Loans for innovative start-ups and SMEs
- Support in the crucial development phase: from idea to market
The fund focuses on social themes such as sustainability, the energy transition, agriculture, healthcare, and safety. It is the successor of the Proof of Concept fund, which has helped dozens of companies since 2018. Now there is new budget available for entrepreneurs who want to grow, improve, and make an impact.
Why this fund?
For entrepreneurs, it can sometimes be difficult to find financing in the early phase of a new idea or product. While you especially need support then. As a province, we see that and want to respond to that need. “Flevoland is a province of pioneers and doers,” says Deputy Toon van Dijk. “With this fund, we stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation, precisely at the moment it matters.”
Stronger together
The Innovation Fund is implemented by Horizon Flevoland and made possible by the European program Opportunities for West III. This way, your innovation is supported not only regionally but also at the European level.
