International IT and Life Science enterprises are extremely welcome in the province of Utrecht, and are encouraged to establish themselves here in many ways. Companies have access to various kinds of industry support and financial incentives in the way of subsidies, tax incentives, and more. Here are just a few examples in the Research & Development field that can be particularly attractive to foreign investors:

Research and Development Promotion Act (WBSO)
Promotes corporate R&D by means of a generous reduction of payroll tax and social security contributions for R&D wage costs

Innovation Subsidy for Collaborative Projects (IS)
A subsidy for R&D projects that are executed together with one or more knowledge institutes and/or companies. National and international partnerships are eligible for a subsidy.

These financial incentives for Research & Development are available to all companies that meet the necessary requirements, not just those in the IT or Life Science sectors.

Please feel free to contact us for more detailed information.
