Regionale Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij

Regionale Ontwikkelingsmaatschappijen (ROMs) zijn niet-voor-winst-organisaties. Ze werden ingesteld (en zijn gedeeltelijk gefinancierd) door de overheid om de economie te stimuleren en banen te creëren.

ROMs innovate, invest and promote internationalisation to boost regional innovation and competitiveness. ROMs also act as a link between the government, innovation centres, businesses, and regional and international networks.

Further developing, financing and launching results

A ROM can help if you wish to further develop your research results into a market-ready product but lack the necessary investment. The support may take the form of funding, introduction to networks and collaboration opportunities, and connecting you with businesses.

It requires preparation and prior knowledge before you can approach a ROM. DEMPACT can help you with this. Please feel free to get in touch.
