Organisation records are published from the Flux Forward organisation register and shown here exactly as that register holds them. We do not research, write or edit them on this site, and a listing is not an endorsement or a sign that an organisation can help with your situation. Check the organisation's own website before acting.
If your organisation is based in the Netherlands and wants partners, market advice or EU funding in another country, this network gives that advice free of charge through the partner covering your province.
About
Enterprise Europe Network Nederland is the Dutch part of an EU business support network that its site describes as around four hundred and fifty organisations across fifty countries. It gives practical information and advice to organisations with plans abroad, and its pages state that this costs the user nothing. The help it names covers the rules and opportunities of the EU internal market, entering new markets, identifying financing options including EU funding and help with applications, sustainability and changing business models, digitalisation, building the capacity to innovate, and matchmaking, meaning being put in touch with trade, technology or research partners in other countries. Its users are entrepreneurs, research institutes, universities and technology centres. In the Netherlands the network is not a single office: it is delivered by a group of organisations including the national enterprise agency, the regional development agencies of most provinces, several sector bodies and a team at a university of applied sciences, and an enquiry usually goes to the partner covering your own province.
What they offer
- Matchmaking with trade, technology and research partners in other countries
- Advice on EU legislation, policy and the internal market
- Help identifying financing options and EU funding, including applications
- Advice on internationalisation and entering new markets
- Advice on innovation, digitalisation, sustainability and resilience
- International matchmaking events at trade fairs
Good to know
- It serves organisations, not individuals. It does not help with permits, housing or looking for a job.
- It is a network rather than a single office, and the partner you deal with depends on your province and sector.
- It advises and introduces. It does not itself award funding, and an EU grant application still goes to the body running the scheme.
