On behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ), Dialogic, in collaboration with UNU-MERIT, conducted a study on the impact of SBIR ('Small Business Innovation Research'). The goal of SBIR is to develop innovative solutions (or gain insight into these solutions) for societal challenges. The SBIR implemented by RVO involves a (pre-commercial) form of government procurement of research and development services. Additionally, the scheme also includes the NWO instrument formerly known as 'Valorisation Grant' until 2014 (now 'Take-off Programme'). The evaluation assessed the effectiveness of the SBIR variants, their efficient execution, and potential areas for improvement.
