TKI Water Technology

TKI Innovation brokers

Pressing challenges like climate change and the transition from a linear to a circular economy require innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions. Solutions that Dutch water technology companies offer. Yet, entrepreneurs and innovators often experience difficulties in putting their innovations on the market. They need to know what types of financing are available, where market opportunities are, what institutions and instruments can help bring their innovation to the next level, and so on.

The TKI Innovation Brokers that work with Water Alliance and the Netherlands Water Partnership are available to help Dutch water companies answer any questions they may have about going to market. They can connect them to knowledge institutes and other SMEs. They know about financing opportunities and have a large network within the sector and with potential customers. In a free consultation, they will help you on your way to the Dutch knowledge and innovation structure. Their advice covers:

- innovation of products, processes, or services;

- the provision of technology assistance;

- technology transfer services.

Our Innovation Brokers can link with knowledge institutions and other SMEs, and they know the financing possibilities and have a broad network in the sector. Request a free consultation with an Innovation Broker. Contact Business Relationship Manager Manager Arjan Braamskamp directly

MIT Networking activities

We regularly organise networking activities to inspire, inform, and connect Dutch water technology companies, knowledge institutions, and launching customers. In doing so, we stimulate innovation, knowledge development, and cooperation in the water technology sector and within promising crossovers.

Major national meetings are attended by the MIT (Mkb-innovatiestimulering Regio en Topsectoren) Network Activities programme, including the biennial European Water Technology Week, Aqua Nederland, and Aquatech Amsterdam events. The Dutch water technology sector meets there on the networking floor and through targeted matchmaking and networking sessions.

TKI Programme Support Activities (POA)

We organise various content sessions, cross-sector meetings, and TechTalks focusing on knowledge transfer. These meetings highlight mission-driven innovation and top-sector policy and actively involve SMEs and research institutes. The aim is to let SMEs find their way to the knowledge institutes, make the innovation landscape known, and open it up to organisations with ideas for innovations. We also make top-sector policy and instruments more widely known. Would you like to make a substantive contribution to one of these events? Then contact BRM Manager Arjan Braamskamp directly.
