Scheme".
The financial support scheme for R&D collaboration between the Netherlands

know-how and markets, as well as cost and risk sharing.
The Dutch Government has launched a Technological Collaboration Subsidy
Scheme ("Technologische Samenwerking Internationaal or TSI") which is aimed
at stimulating collaboration between Dutch businesses and their foreign
counterparts in the area of R&D, according to a statement from the Royal
Netherlands Embassy in Kuala Lumpur..
“In view of the good perspectives for Dutch businesses here in Malaysia, it
was decided to add Malaysia to the list of countries qualifying for
financial backing under the Technological Collaboration Subsidy Scheme,” the
statement added.
The Scheme seeks to encourage R&D collaboration in the area of R&D
collaboration between Dutch and Malaysian businesses and research
institutes.
The Scheme is being co-ordinated by SenterNovem, which is an agency of the
Ministry of Economic Affairs. It implements government policy in the fields
of technology, energy, environment, exports and international co-operation.
Its objective is to make an enduring contribution to the position of the
business sector and knowledge institutions in the Netherlands.
