NWO-thematic policy Top sectors
Both PPP and fundamental research
Collaboration with top teams
Financial resources: 2012/13: M€ 225, 2015: M€ 275
9 top sectors, incl. cross-cutting themes:BBE top sector Chemistry2012/13: M€ 27 PPS, M€ 10 non-PPS (actually more)
NWO and Top sectors
Ambitions2050: NL worlds’ no.1 in green chemistry2050: NL in top-3 production of smart materialsHigh quality, groundbreaking research to open up new areas of science & innovation and to nourish existing areas
Society & Market-driven – PPPTKI Smart Polymeric Materials (SPM)TKI Process Technology (ISPT) TKI BioBased Economy (BBE)TKI New Chemical Innovations (NCI)
International AgendaHuman Capital Agenda Investment NWO, TNO, industry,
‘TKI-toeslag’ government
Top sector Chemistry
Clustering of existing, large PPP’s in three TKI’s (SPM, BBE & ISPT)
Innovation contract: Natural link between fundamental scientific research <-> existing and future PPP’s
Small, to-the-point programmes: Tailor-made solutions
High-quality scientific research on topics relevant to industryTKI New Chemical Innovations focuses on new developments in existing PPP’s and on new fields in
chemistry
Exploring new fields

Foundation TKI NCI (sep 2012)Goals:
Reinforcement of society-driven research & innovationStimulating PPP’s focused on new scientific challenges
Board: Bert Weckhuysen (UU, Topteam)Marcel Wubbolts (DSM)Bert-Jan Lommerts (Latexfalt, Topteam)
Programme Committee (chair Han de Winde)
Peer review based quality checkAdvisory Board to safeguard coherence with all TKI’sTopics: various, open character
e.g. materials, process technology, biobased economy, material scarcity, safety, catalysis, analytical science, molecular life sciences, etc…………….

Status48 proposals -> decisions on granting expected July 2013
BBE @ NWO
Program “TA Biomass”Topic: Eco-efficient Use of Biomass for Bulk and Fine Chemicals NWO division: Chemical SciencesBudget: M€ 3Collaboration: PPP (€: 67% government / 33% industry)Enabling conditions for SME’s (can contribute largely in kind)
ThemesMaking biomass based biocatalytic, chemocatalytic and thermochemical processes compatibleProduce existing chemical intermediates in an eco-efficient way from biomassDevelop process for the conversion of recalcitrant biomass fractions
Status5 projects granted
BBE @ NWO
Program in cooperation with Brazil Aim: Collaboration in biobased economy NL-BrazilNWO divisions: Chemical Sciences, Earth and Life SciencesBudget: M€ 2

BBE @ NWO
Partnership program with PaquesTopic: A Novel Platform Technology for the Conversion of Waste Biomass to Renewable BioproductsNWO divisions: STW, Chemical SciencesBudget: M€ 3Collaboration: PPP (€: 50% government / 50% Paques)
FocusDevelop an in-depth understanding of the fermentation of organic material to VFA (volatile fatty acids) under non-sterile conditionsDevelop efficient methods to recover VFA from fermentation brothsDevelop novel processes for the efficient conversion of VFA to renewable biobased products
Status5 projects granted
BBE @ NWO
PipelineFor 2012/2013 up till now NWO invested ~M€ 10 in BBE under the top sector policy.
Investments in BBE will further increase, since:
Numbers on curiosity driven research (talent schemes and response-mode research) will appear by the end of 2013.
The Fund New Chemical Innovations is still open.Next ‘deadline’ for submitting projects: 24 September
