The National Growth Fund
With the National Growth Fund, the Dutch government invests more than €11 billion in 50 projects that contribute to structural and durable economic growth of the Netherlands. Ultimately, we all reap the benefits of long-term economic growth with positive social effects.
The two fields with the highest potential for structural and economic growth are:
- knowledge development
- research, development and innovation
Till the end of 2021 there was a third field: infrastructure. With the start of the new government this field has been transferred to the Mobility Fund.
The National Growth Fund is an initiative of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. Collectively, these Ministries manage the fund on behalf of the government. An independent advisory committee will assess the projects and issue recommendations to the government about the project grants.
