Funding

Campus@Sea can be a valuable partner for innovative projects that are still seeking funding. We can help develop an innovation roadmap, review project proposals and collaborate with partners to attract funding. We also assist projects in securing follow-up funding.

We organise events such as Money Meets Ideas for Offshore, where various stakeholders come together to explore funding opportunities.

Rabo Innovation Loan

The Rabo Innovation Loan is an initiative of Rabobank Innovation Fund and is intended for companies that are not (yet) eligible for a bank loan because they have not yet proven their results and/or do not have cash flow. It involves financing innovative ideas focused on sustainability, digitisation or vitality and preparatory activities.

At the beginning of 2022, Rabobank renewed its partnership with ImpactCity, a partner of Campus@Sea. Harry Wientjes, Director of Rabobank The Hague Region, says: ‘Rabobank wants to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses sustainably by providing financing, networking and knowledge.’ There is a special start-up and scale-up team. In addition, there are masterclasses organised for entrepreneurs in collaboration with ImpactCity, which are also available to the Campus@Sea community.
