Vouchers
Funding that helps ideas grow
Are you working on a more sustainable food system and have a strong idea you’d like to develop further, but lack the time, knowledge or budget to really move forward? Food Pioneers’ knowledge vouchers help you take the next step with research, guidance and training tailored to your question and your organisation.
Which voucher fits your needs?
1. Knowledge Voucher – Practice-based research
For entrepreneurs with a concrete innovation challenge, but without their own R&D department. Together with a knowledge institution such as Aeres University of Applied Sciences or Wageningen University & Research, you explore how your idea works in practice, for example for a new product, a more sustainable process or a more efficient way of working. This connects directly to our action research approach.
-
Up to €7,500 in support for applied research
-
Co-financing: you contribute 25% yourself (in money, hours or resources)
-
Support for your business case via Horizon Flevoland
-
For whom? Food sector companies in Flevoland without in-house research capacity, but with strong ambitions
