In the past decade, Dutch innovation policy has shifted its focus from economic earning capacity to achieving societal goals and missions. Some of these missions relate to the Dutch energy system. Various schemes have been established to achieve these missions and earlier goals. Dialogic, in collaboration with SEO, conducted evaluations of four of these schemes on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate. These schemes include those of the Energy Top Sector, the Renewable Energy Transition (HER+), the Demonstration of Energy and Climate Innovation (DEI+), and the Mission-Driven Research, Development, and Innovation (MOOI) schemes. Together, these schemes form the Energy Innovation Schemes (EI).

By examining a broad evaluation period (2012-2021), a comprehensive assessment was made of the extent to which these schemes have contributed to the goals of the (previous) Energy Agreement, Climate Agreement, and Mission-Driven Top Sectors and Innovation Policy.
