The Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ) introduced the TKI Allowance Scheme in 2013 as part of its Top Sector Approach to innovation. The scheme aims to strengthen public-private collaboration within the Top Sectors by providing an allowance on the private contribution to research organisations in the context of collaborative projects of a Top Consortium for Knowledge and Innovation (TKI). The essence of the scheme is that every euro that private parties contribute to PPP projects generates an allowance of 25%, provided that the project aligns with a TKI roadmap.
Commissioned by EZ, Dialogic conducted research on the effectiveness and efficiency of this scheme. We concluded that the scheme achieves its intended purpose; it is an attractive incentive for continuously focusing public and private research resources on joint research. Recommendations include increasing the allowance percentage, ensuring stability within the scheme, promoting usage, achieving cross-overs, and reducing complexity.
