The Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, Maxime Verhagen, will support more innovative SMEs with subsidies. Research by Dialogic commissioned by the department shows that companies benefiting from this subsidy scheme notice it in their results: 70% of the companies report a positive contribution to profits. The research thus demonstrates that the IPC scheme is a key factor for SMEs in implementing innovation plans. The government will therefore extend the scheme in the future to assist even more SMEs.
