Description
1) Objective
The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl) encourages entrepreneurs in sustainable, agrarian, innovative and international business. It helps with grants, finding business partners, know-how and compliance with laws and regulations. The aim of the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF) is to provide financial assistance to do business in an emerging market or a developing country, with a special focus on female entrepreneurs, young entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in fragile states. The Fund has two funding arms: (1) for Dutch SMEs: the DGGF provides customised finance to Dutch SMEs doing business in developing countries and emerging markets (through loan and equity investments or in support of exports); (2) for local SMEs: the DGGF aims to increase local SMEs access to finance through the provision of intermediary investment funds for local SMEs. Concerning the latter, one specific program is the Seed Capital and Business Development (SCBD) facility to support promising early stage finance initiatives with up to €1,000,000 per initiative.
2) Eligibility
For the SCBD, SMEs from all 68 DGGF countries are eligible for funding.
3) Location
The 68 DGGF countries that are the low- and middle income countries according to the OECD-DAC list (as of 2017, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, the Maldives and Thailand will be no longer part of the country list) are eligible.
4) Budget
For the Seed Capital and Business Development (SCBD) facility promising early stage finance initiatives are supported with up to €1,000,000 per initiative.
5) Application
Interested parties are invited to send their pitch-book to dggf@nl.pwc.com with the subject line ‘Early Stage Initiative’. The most compelling ideas and proposals will be selected and their applicants will receive further instructions to elaborate on their pilot proposals for funding support. There are no deadlines.
