Affairs / Development Cooperation that supports
innovative investment projects in emerging markets.
To find out whether the country of your choice is open to PSI Regular or PSI
Plus, please check the following regions: Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America. By entering the country of your

A PSI project is an investment project, implemented by a Dutch (or foreign)
company together with a local company, in one of the eligible developing
countries. If this investment meets the criteria, it can be eligible for a
grant by PSI. This grant consists of a financial contribution to the costs of
the investment.
