The Hague, Thursday, 16 January 2025.
The Dutch Enterprise Agency is recruiting financial advisors to assist in energy and sustainability grant applications, boosting innovation and sustainable practices across various provinces.

Strategic Expansion of Advisory Services

The Dutch Enterprise Agency (RVO) has announced multiple financial advisor positions across key locations including The Hague, Utrecht, Assen, Zwolle, and Roermond [1]. These roles, offering competitive salaries ranging from €3,404 to €5,389 per month, will focus on evaluating complex subsidy applications for major energy innovation projects [1]. The advisors will be responsible for assessing applications for crucial programs such as DEI+, MOOI, and IPCEI, working with diverse stakeholders including companies, governments, and knowledge institutions [1].

Comprehensive Support Framework

The initiative aligns with RVO’s mission to combat climate change and transition to sustainable energy systems [1]. Operating on a hybrid work model, advisors will be required to attend RVO offices 1-2 days per week [1]. The agency is particularly focused on supporting multi-year projects with significant investments related to energy sustainability and innovation [1]. A key component of their role includes managing financial risks and providing guidance to clients and project advisors on risk mitigation strategies [1].

Upcoming Grant Opportunities

Several significant funding opportunities are scheduled for early 2025. The Subsidy Programme for Responsible Business (SPVO) will open its first application round on February 10, 2025, targeting Dutch companies improving social sustainability in international value chains [4]. Additionally, the agency is overseeing the implementation of new sustainability requirements for biomass installations receiving subsidies from 2024 onwards [2], with a new verification protocol set to be published on January 1, 2025 [2].

Focus on Innovation and Sustainability

The Netherlands continues to advance its ambitious climate goals, aiming for complete CO2 neutrality by 2050 [5]. The RVO’s expanded advisory services will play a crucial role in supporting businesses through various sustainability schemes, including the Sustainable Energy Investment Subsidy (ISDE) [5]. The initiative emphasizes innovation-oriented procurement, encouraging businesses to develop unique solutions for more reliable, sustainable, and efficient execution of public tasks [7].
