The Dutch government provides grants via the so-called Private Sector Investment Programme. PSI supports Dutch – or foreign – business investments in the private sector in emerging countries. PSI stimulates innovative pilot investments, with the ultimate goal of strengthening the local economy of the recipient country. PSI finances projects to ease some of the initial risks that companies encounter when investing in emerging countries. A typical project involves a mix of hardware (supply and installation), knowledge transfer and project management. This grant consists of a financial contribution to these costs of 50% of the total project costs. The maximum project costs can be € 1,500.000, so the maximum grant is € 750.000. For the countries for which PSI Plus is applicable, the maximum grant is 60% (€ 900.000). The coming tender will close 20 August 2012. See attached factsheet for more information.
