About the Zeeland in Current Acceleration scheme

The scheme is intended to finance   ideas to achieve sustainable economic structural strengthening of Zeeland. With the subsidy the feasibility of a project can be investigated or a first version can be realized. The projects must align with one of the themes: energy, climate, raw materials, and agriculture & food. For the tightness in the labor market, there is a separate subsidy scheme.

The amount of this scheme has been made available by Zeeland municipalities and the Province of Zeeland. A contribution is also made from the Regio Deal North Sea Port District. More information about the scheme can be found at Subsidy scheme Zeeland in Current Acceleration.
