HTSM Call — Semiconductor & Quantum R&D

The HTSM Call for Semiconductor and Quantum R&D sits under Holland High Tech / Topsector HTSM and is delivered with NWO as the administration partner. It is a large annual consortium call for projects in semiconductor chiplet integration and quantum technologies, so it occupies a more focused and more heavily coordinated lane than Holland High Tech's broader partnership scheme. The 2025 call carries a total budget of €11.85 million, split evenly between semiconductors and quantum. Applicants need at least two co-funders contributing 20 percent or more of the total budget, and the consortium has to include at least three participants overall. The call is routed through NWO rather than Holland High Tech's own portal, and applicants and partner organizations need to be based in the Netherlands. The topic area is explicit: heterogeneous chiplet integration, AI-assisted design and process technologies, and quantum computation, communication, or security. The strongest proposals are likely to be the ones that assemble serious industrial and research partners around a sharply defined technical problem. This is not a broad exploratory funder; it is a concentrated call for substantial consortia that can show co-funding discipline, technical depth, and a plan that fits the semiconductor or quantum remit exactly.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
