2xplore - feasibility studies

There will be no funds available for 2xplore in 2011. As soon as the status of the programme changes we will announce it on our website.

 

2xplore - the successor of PESP (Programme Economic Cooperation Projects) - is a programme funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands Government and is administered by its agency EVD. 2xplore provides grant financing of preinvestment and feasibility studies that potentially lead to substantial export of goods and services from the Netherlands. The programme funds 50% of the maximum study budget of € 266,000 (maximum grant is € 133,000). Most of the budget will normally be allocated to technical assistance and related expenses but in some cases hardware can be included as well. Typical output of a 2xplore study is a comprehensive business plan which can be presented to decision makers and their financiers.

 

Main criteria

  • At least two Dutch companies must have an export interest in the study.
  • The expected export of Dutch goods and services must be substantial (> €0.5 million) and at least 10x the requested 2xplore subsidy.
  • Complete financing of the planned project, upon positive conclusion of the study, must be evident.
