The Netherlands' top innovation grant available again in 2024 with even more budget
On Budget Day, the Budget Memorandum and National Budget were published. In it, the plans for 2024 were also announced for the innovation subsidy of the Netherlands: the WBSO. The total available budget will be increased to ensure that enough money remains available to support innovative companies in the Netherlands. There will be 1,446 million in WBSO subsidies available for innovative companies in 2024. Almost one and a half billion euros!
WBSO lowers costs
With the WBSO subsidy, the Dutch government helps companies carry out research and development work by offsetting part of the wage costs and other costs and expenses. Your benefit can amount to as much as €20,000 per R&D employee per year. That's a substantial savings!
Is your company exploiting the full WBSO potential?
Do you know exactly which activities are and are not eligible, what costs and expenses you may and may not include and how many hours you can apply for the WBSO? Our WBSO consultants are happy to help answer these questions.
Hezelburcht has been applying for WBSO subsidies since the start of the scheme in 1995. By 2023, it is estimated that we will have realized more than 23,500 WBSO awards. Our service stands for total relief: we prepare and submit the application, answer any question letters, help set up and check the administration, and support any audits. Get in touch with us!
