Public funding for Dutch aerospace, in one place.


Members

The aerospace sector is evolving rapidly. Innovation demands both collaboration and funding. This page helps you navigate the available public funding opportunities, so you can participate more effectively in shaping the future of aviation. In doing so, we aim to strengthen the ecosystem and increase Dutch participation in both national and international subsidy programmes.

Funding types

Public funding takes many forms. Knowing which type fits your project is the first step.

Project grants

For specific projects: research, development, demonstration. Most common for early-stage innovation.

Investment grants

For acquiring equipment or implementing sustainable solutions. Capital, not capability.

Collaboration grants

For multi-partner projects, often consortia, frequently with an international component.

Loans and guarantees

Not subsidies, but government-backed financial instruments with favorable conditions or risk coverage.

EU programmes

Schemes like Horizon Europe, Clean Aviation, and EIC that promote cross-border cooperation and innovation at scale.
