- Secure your Dutch research organisation partner early, the consortium structure with a Dutch SME lead is a hard eligibility requirement, not a scoring preference.

- Position the project clearly within TRL 4-7, proposals that read as earlier-stage research or later-stage commercialisation may not fit this track.
