NEW ttt stands for Netherlands Enabling Water technology. The NEW-consortium consists of Wetsus, Deltares, the University of Groningen and the NOM. Together they are promoting promising initiatives in the field of water technology.
For whom is this project interesting?
NEW-ttt is designed for entrepreneurs and startups in the water technology sector, particularly those focused on developing new technologies in water treatment, reuse, energy production from water, and smarter water management. It supports early-stage companies, as well as researchers with entrepreneurial ambitions, looking to validate and scale their innovations.
How can I benefit from this project?
The program offers access to state-of-the-art facilities, incubation services, and validation tests. Participants can also receive funding and tailored support to help bring their technologies to market, along with expert advice and business development opportunities.
How does it work?
The NEW-ttt consists of two pillars. Pillar 1 focuses on the valorisation of research through the creation of (spin-off) companies. Pillar 2 focuses on funding of early stage startups based in the Netherlands. The activities in pillar 1 focuses on:
- Broadly scouting for promising starters with good innovation ideas, also outside the research programs of the involved knowledge institutes;
- Exploiting different IP models;
- The creation of a NEW-focused incubation program;
- The deployment of 11 unique state-of-the-art validation facilities for new and the possibilities for young entrepreneurs to do validation tests;
- Strenghtening and expanding open innovation communities.
