The National Programme Groningen (a partnership between the Dutch national government, the Province of Groningen and ten municipalities) is investing in projects that contribute to the future and prosperity of Groningen, focussing on economic development, the quality of the living environment, energy transition and sustainability. The board of the National Programme Groningen confirmed the award to Avantium of a 7.5 M€ grant to support the construction of its FDCA flagship plant, designating it as an “icon project” for the region.
