Chemical & Processing industries

Using subsidies to support innovation

Large complex production processes require a great deal of energy and raw materials. External factors such as fluctuating prices of raw materials influence your unit costs to such an extent that you seek to improve your processes, introduce smart innovations or find alternative raw materials. Naturally you would like to maximise the return on such investments. Subsidies can help you do this.

Subsidies mean more than just financial support for your organisation. They force you to design projects that are even more innovative or more sustainable. So your organisation actively addresses its social responsibility. This in turn leads to new initiatives and activities within your business, to new projects, for which extra funding is often required. And these extra opportunities, too, can be financed with subsidies.

Achieving more through subsidies

Subsidies can help a company such yours achieve its goals. For example via the European Fund for Regional Development, the Framework Programme 7 Research, the Energy Research Subsidies (short and long term) or the polymers programme. At PNO we have profound knowledge of these areas and special expertise in matching our customers’ ambitions to the right subsidy schemes. We have a strong track record in the processing and chemical industry and work together with almost all of the large chemical and petrochemical companies in the Netherlands but also throughout Europe. Many companies deliberately choose our experts: we speak the same language and understand that only substantial funding is of interest. We know your markets and we know where the most promising opportunities lie. As a result, we can quickly get up to speed, whether for a particular project or on a more structural basis. Our specialists can support you throughout subsidy process, so that you can achieve more of your ambitions.
