Innovation verlangt nach Support und Information

Wenn Sie in den Niederlanden oder in Belgien leben und über einen sehr innovativen Geist verfügen, oder wenn sie für eine innovatives Unternehmen arbeiten, kennen Sie wahrscheinlich Senter oder IWT. Diese Organisationen sind jeweils in den Niederlanden und in Belgien das Gegenstück – sie unterstützen besonders innovative Vorhaben finanziell.

Auf ihrer Website beschreibt sich die IWT wie folgt:
”The IWT is the only government institution that stimulates and supports technological innovation in Flanders. The IWT was founded by decree on January 23rd, 1991. Its assignments were redefined in the so-called innovation decree of May 18th, 1999. At this point, the name of the institute became IWT – Flanders: Institute for the promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders. The IWT supports in particular small and medium sized organizations in seeking technical advice from the array of organizations offering such advice, and in choosing the most appropriate support measure or instrument for solving their innovation problem. The activities of the IWT are aimed at all Flemish companies that are interested in European research initiatives, who wish to valorize these or are searching for new technologies.”

Auf Ihrer Website beschreibt sich die niederländische Senter wie folgt:
