Status not published
MIT R&D-samenwerkingsprojecten: 'Open voor aanvragen ... vanaf 9 juni tot en met 17 september 2026'. The MIT AI variant is closed. Kennisvouchers, TKI-Netwerkactiviteiten and TKI-Innovatiemakelaars will not reopen ('Dit instrument opent niet meer'), and haalbaarheidsprojecten are no longer run by RVO ('De Haalbaarheidsprojecten worden niet meer uitgevoerd door RVO') — check your province for regional MIT instruments.
Subsidy amounts and rates are set per instrument and per region in the annual regulation; the RVO landing page states only that a kennisvoucher is worth 'maximaal 70% van de rekening'. No national R&D-samenwerking ceiling is quoted on that page, so none is recorded here.
