The Dutch government has announced the launch of the NL-UA Cybersecurity Fund, a €2.5 million grant programme to support Ukraine.
The initiative will finance joint projects between Ukrainian and Dutch companies, according to the press service of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) on Facebook.
“The programme is implemented by the National Cyber Security Centre of the Netherlands within the Tallinn Mechanism, in cooperation with the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center under the NSDC of Ukraine. The initiative was presented during the Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum 2026,” the statement said.
The programme aims to strengthen partnerships between the Ukrainian and Dutch cybersecurity ecosystems and support joint innovative solutions in cyber defense.
To participate, applicants must form a consortium with at least one Ukrainian and one Dutch partner. The maximum funding per project is up to €250,000, with a project duration of up to six months.
According to the NSDC, priority areas include:
- SOC-as-a-Service and managed cybersecurity services;
- Cloud security;
- Identity and access management systems;
- Email protection;
- Digital forensics and cyber incident response.
The initiative continues the Netherlands’ broader support for Ukraine in cybersecurity, including a previously announced €10 million assistance package.
