ChipTech Twente invites you to join their lunch session. This ChipTech Twente lunch will be a bit more specific than usual. This time no company in the picture, but an informative session on ‘Nationaal Groeifonds’ (National Growth Fund), round 4 and the application for a national Competence center.

Together with Brainport, HighTech NL and TNO, ChipTech Twente is working on both instruments. They are making great strides in positioning our national strategy, working with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and RVO. Where they stand and what they want to achieve is the theme of the lunch. Issues they will cover are:

• Why a national strategy?
• What ongoing initiatives touch this national strategy?
• What consortium are we building for the National Growth Fund?
• What theme is central to the application?
• In what ways do we engage new partners/companies?
• What is a national Competence Center?
• What is the relationship to other initiatives from the EU Chips Act?
• How do we see our role in it?
• What is the status, planning and budget of the different instruments?

They look forward to seeing you again at the Gallery’s grand café. Should you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to ask.
