MIT R&D grant amount

When is the MIT R&D deadline?

What are the conditions?

• • In the MIT R&D collaboration project, the costs and input per SME is fairly divided.
  • The project must be in line with the mission-driven top sector policy.
  • One participant may not bear more than 70% of the costs.
  • Only the costs incurred by the SME entrepreneurs are eligible.

Example

In the food processing industry it is increasingly important to provide insight into the origin and processing steps of a product. That is why ICT company X, together with a wholesaler of agricultural products, wants to develop a system that offers insight into the total flow of a product. The ICT company and the wholesaler are jointly developing a platform that offers insight into this process based on external data (such as sensors). This platform makes it possible to further optimize processes with the help of big data analysis.

R&D-collaboration projects AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is getting bigger and bigger in Dutch society, thanks to the possibilities it offers and its applicability in different sectors. To stimulate the development and applicability of AI among SMEs, there will be an additional opening from MIT R&D collaboration projects, namely MIT R&D collaboration projects AI.

Which projects are eligible?

Projects that contribute to the generic development of AI are eligible:

• The deployment of Machine Learning, including Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Reinforcement Learning;

• A demonstrably new solution for one or more application areas of the Dutch AI Coalition (NL AIC): Energy and Sustainability; Health and Care; Peace, Justice and Security; Agriculture and Food; Culture and Media; Financial services; Built environment; Port and Maritime; Mobility; Transport and logistics; Education; Public Services; and the Technical Industry;
• An approach that has an eye for reliable and people-oriented AI. Everyone involved in the application of AI (for example citizens and/or employees) is involved as much as possible in making choices about its development and use.

MIT R&D collaboration projects AI grant amount

The national budget is €2.9 million.

For small R&D collaboration projects, the subsidy is a minimum of €50,000 and a maximum of €200,000 per innovation project, of which a minimum of €25,000 and a maximum of €100,000 per participant.

For large R&D collaboration projects, the subsidy is a minimum of €200,000 and a maximum of €350,000 per innovation project, of which a minimum of €25,000 and a maximum of €175,000 per participant.

When to submit?

The scheme for R&D collaborative projects AI is currently closed.

MIT feasibility study

Did you know that you can also apply for a grant for a feasibility project? This allows you to map out the technical and economic risks of an innovation project. This instrument is called an MIT feasibility study.
