Call Open: HHINT Kickstarter for Public-Private Partnerships
The Dutch have a long tradition of investing in international cooperation. Investing in an international network can provide a significant acceleration of research and development (R&D). Sharing knowledge between international partners helps to better identify the end users and supports valorisation and export. In addition, international cooperation may be the first step for foreign organisations to invest and settle in the Netherlands. Therefore, internationalisation is one of the focus points of Top Sector Life Sciences & Health (LSH).
The Top Sector LSH wants to stimulate international, public-private partnerships (PPP). Current financial instruments for cooperation outside Europe are limited. To facilitate the first steps to R&D cooperation worldwide, the Top Sector LSH established the programme ‘Health~Holland International (HHINT) Kickstarter for public-private partnerships’. This programme is realised by the Top Consortium Knowledge & Innovation (TKI) office of the Top Sector LSH: TKI-LSH.
With the HHINT Kickstarter, for profit enterprises and recognised research organisations are invited to apply for financial support (PPP Allowance) to get off to a flying start to establish a long lasting foreign public-private partnership in R&D. This PPP Allowance serves as a first driver in international R&D cooperation between the parties. This programme falls within the framework of the PPP Allowance Regulation of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy.
Available budget
For the HHINT Kickstarter programme 2020 the total available amount of PPP Allowance is €600,000.
