How to Submit Your WBSO Application: Step-by-Step Guide

Steps to Submit Your WBSO Application

Submitting your WBSO application is a straightforward process, but it’s important to ensure that all required steps are followed carefully to avoid delays or rejections. If your application is well-prepared with all necessary information and documentation, submitting through the RVO portal can be done smoothly.

However, preparing the application itself can be time-consuming and requires attention to detail. This is where Traqqie can help. Traqqie offers specialized services to manage the entire application process, ensuring that all technical details are correctly documented and submitted. This saves you time and helps avoid the back-and-forth corrections that may occur with self-prepared applications. Click here to learn more about how Traqqie can help with your WBSO application.

  1. Online Portal: Applications must be submitted through the RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) online portal. You will need an eHerkenning level 3 (eH3) for this, which is required for identification and security purposes when accessing government services.
  2. Application Form: Complete the WBSO application form with detailed information about your R&D project. Ensure that your project descriptions are clear, concise, and technically focused. The application form asks for specific details regarding your project's objectives, methodologies, and expected outcomes, so it’s important to provide comprehensive and accurate information.
  3. Attachments: Attach all necessary documents, including project descriptions, technical details, project timelines, budgets, and team information. Make sure these documents are accurate, clear, and directly relevant to the project. Avoid unnecessary attachments that may confuse the reviewers and cause delays in the process.
  4. Review and Submit: Before submitting, carefully review your entire application to ensure accuracy and completeness. Double-check that all required fields are filled out, all documents are attached, and the application follows the RVO's guidelines. Once you're sure everything is in order, submit the application through the portal.

  5. Examples of Successful and Unsuccessful Submissions

    Example 1: Successful Submission

    A software company carefully follows each step and submits a well-documented application through the RVO portal. They ensure that all details, including the technical aspects, are clear and that all attachments are relevant and complete. Their careful preparation results in smooth and timely processing of their application.


    Example 2: Successful Submission

    A biotech startup prepares and thoroughly reviews their WBSO application before submitting it. They ensure that the project descriptions are concise, the technical challenges are well-documented, and all attachments are included. This approach leads to a successful submission and quick processing.


    Example 3: Unsuccessful Submission

    An application is submitted with incomplete information and missing attachments. The lack of thorough review results in delays, as the applicant is asked to provide the missing documents, causing the processing time to increase significantly.


    Example 4: Unsuccessful Submission

    A company submits their WBSO application without using the required eHerkenning level 3. This oversight leads to the application being rejected, as it does not comply with the submission process requirements.
