Water Innovation Fund

HHNK has set up a Water Innovation Fund (WIF) to help companies take the final steps in bringing innovations to market. These are innovations that have passed the development phase and require additional funding to be implemented. 

Size

The WIF is a revolving fund of €2 million that is managed by the external fund manager Nationaal Groenfonds. The WIF has a maximum participation of €200,000 per application. The financing must be repaid in the form of repayment and payment of commercial interest to the fund manager (except in the event of bankruptcy).

Pitches

Potential candidates for the fund can pitch twice a year. The next opportunity to pitch will be in March 2026. Candidates use the pitch to promote their idea and substantiate it with a 'market development' business plan. You can register viaWIF@hhnk.nl.
