BOM, the Brabant Development Agency, combines venture development, patient venture capital and international business support to help innovative companies grow in Noord-Brabant. It invests early in scalable startups and scale-ups, typically EUR200,000–EUR5 million per company, and works with private co-investors. Its investment focus includes deep technology and AI, medical technology and life sciences, decentralized energy and plant-based innovation. The BOM platform operates through Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij Holding B.V. and its group companies, with separate venture-investment and renewable-energy investment committees. BOM also manages the national SecFund on behalf of the Dutch regional development agencies, financing early-stage dual-use technology for civilian and defense applications.

  • SecFund€100M

    National Dutch early-stage dual-use technology investment fund executed and managed by BOM on behalf of all regional development agencies, in collaboration with the defense and economic-affairs ministries. It co-invests with private investors in startups, scale-ups and innovative SMEs, up to EUR5 million per company. The fund began with EUR25 million; the government September 16, 2025 budget announcement reports a completed EUR75 million increase to a total EUR100 million. This is government-funded investment capital, not a private limited-partner fundraising close.
