RIG

The RIG was started in 2014, to give an impulse to the business climate and employment of industrial companies in the Eemsdelta and the Zernike Campus Groningen. The total available grant of 40 milion is made available in four tranches. At this moment, RIG2017 is the third tranche in this row. The extra money is being made available, because of the large interest in the grant.

The company is going to develop new products and will get sixteen to twenty additional job openings. Following the expansion in 2015, the company has grown rapidly resulting in further expansion.
