The Netherlands will launch the NL-UA Cybersecurity Fund grant program to support Ukraine
The Dutch government has announced the launch of the NL-UA Cybersecurity Fund grant program, with a total budget of €2.5 million, to support Ukraine in the field of cybersecurity.
The program will be implemented jointly by Ukrainian and Dutch companies.
“The program is being implemented by the Dutch National Cyber Security Coordination Center under the Tallinn Mechanism in cooperation with the National Cyber Security Coordination Center under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The initiative was presented during the Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum 2026,” the statement reads.
The program’s goal is to develop partnerships between the Ukrainian and Dutch cybersecurity ecosystems and support joint innovative solutions in the field of cyber defense.
Funding is available for consortium projects that include at least one partner from Ukraine and one from the Netherlands. The maximum grant amount per project is up to 250,000 euros, and the implementation period is up to six months.
The program’s priorities include: SOC-as-a-Service and managed cybersecurity services; cloud security; identity and access management systems; email protection; digital forensics; and cyber incident response.
According to the National Security and Defense Council, the initiative continues the Netherlands’ systematic support for Ukraine in the field of cybersecurity, particularly as part of the previously announced €10 million aid package.
Earlier, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid allocated nearly €160,000 in humanitarian aid to Ukraine’s energy sector.
As a reminder, Germany will provide Ukraine with an additional €200 million aid package, which will be directed, in particular, toward funding reconnaissance drones.
The Swedish government will allocate over 71 million Swedish kronor (about $7.8 million) to support women and girls in Ukraine. The funds will be provided through UN agencies to implement humanitarian programs.
