KPF INDUSTR_I4.0: 10 million for feasibility studies and innovation projects

The 'small projects fund' INDUSTR_I4.0 will accelerate the digital transition within the (manufacturing) industry in the Dutch-German border region. The project does not focus on the frontrunners, but rather on the group of SMEs that follow. The focus is on the adoption and implementation of digital technology in order to accelerate SME innovations.

It is possible for entrepreneurs to apply for subsidies for feasibility studies and innovation projects. A total of 10 million euros is available for this purpose. INDUSTR_I4.0 runs from 2024 to 2027. INDUSTR_I4.0 is supported by the Interreg VI program Germany-Netherlands.
