As of May 2021, companies, non-profit organisations and public organisations who wish to set up an innovative project can apply for the R&D feasibility study subsidy.  

The aim of a feasibility study is to obtain a better insight into the possibilities and the feasibility of an innovative project. 

The intended innovation should have sufficient valorisation potential for Flanders.  

Carrying out a feasibility study can be considered a useful, preparatory step for companies and organisations who wish to apply for other VLAIO subsidies (e.g. subsidies for research projects, development projects, ICON projects).
