At the request of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation (EL&I) and Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Agentschap NL), Dialogic Innovation & Interaction is conducting an evaluation of the innovation programme Point One - Flagship. This oldest innovation programme was started as a pilot in 2006 for the then new programmatic innovation policy of the former Ministry of Economic Affairs. This evaluation, which solely focuses on the Flagship period (2006-2009), aims to determine whether the program objectives of Point One - Flagship have been achieved and whether this Innovation Programme has efficiently contributed to the policy objectives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation (EL&I).

Dialogic delves into the world of nano-electronics and embedded systems for this purpose. Large companies (e.g. OEMs), SMEs and various knowledge institutions operate within the Dutch semiconductor chain. In addition to players active in the manufacturing of chips, chip machinery, and their applications (embedded systems are used in various sectors such as automotive, healthcare, energy), the network of suppliers is also central to this research.

Dialogic employs various research methods including desk research, an online survey, network analysis, and in-depth interviews. This evaluation also pays special attention to the policy issue of 'additionality' of the provided R&D subsidies within the innovation programme.
