NADI: The Missing Piece for Dutch Innovation

Dutch tech giants, universities, and former ASML execs are rallying behind a bold new plan: the National Agency for Disruptive Innovation (NADI). Designed to turn groundbreaking research into thriving businesses, NADI would fill the critical gap where early-stage innovations fall through the cracks — too risky for private investors, too academic for industry. Backed by a coalition of top institutions and investors, the proposal calls for a hefty €300 million launch fund (with a long-term goal of €2 billion) to support deep-tech startups, operate independently, and embrace failure as part of innovation. With talent already abundant, NADI could be the missing engine to turn Dutch labs into global economic powerhouses. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
