Substantial support from a variety of organizations
VriendenLoterij
NEMO is a long-term beneficiary of the VriendenLoterij. Thanks to this support, NEMO is working on the phased renewal, replacement and development of its displays and exhibitions for a broad range of visitors. This includes the addition of elements that place its exhibition objects in a historical and/or social context.

ESA is the European Space Agency: the organization responsible for the development of space travel in Europe. ESA also ensures that new services and products developed within the aerospace sector become available to the people of Europe.
Ministerie van Defensie
Technology plays an increasingly important role at the Ministry of Defense. Both NEMO and the Ministry of Defense are convinced of the importance of stimulating young people's interest in science and technology at an early stage. Through this partnership they support the activities inside and outside the museum.
NSO
The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) is the Dutch space agency. Commissioned by the Dutch government, the NSO develops and implements the Dutch space programme. One task of the NSO is to strengthen communication about space travel with the aerospace sector, teachers and students, and the general public.

Supporting projects and programmes
Amsterdam Fund for the Arts
The Amsterdam Fund for the Arts (AFK) invests in art that enriches the life of the city. The Fund contributed to the development of the artwork at the heart of the Humania exhibition.
Bartiméus Fonds
The Bartiméus Fund is committed to all people who are blind or visually impaired, so that they can live their lives to the fullest. The fund contributes to making NEMO Science Museum sustainably accessible.
Culture Fund
The Culture Fund is a passionate advocate for culture, nature and science. The Culture Fund has contributed to a series of striking and innovative projects including Energetica and the renovation of the Technium, Elementa and Humania floors.
Jet-Net
Jet-Net is the technology network for young people in the Netherlands. This partnership between business, education and government is committed to NEMO because it wants school kids to experience technology as something that is meaningful and socially relevant.
Kessler & Co
Kessler & Co is a company that drives on engineering. We find it important that people, and young people especially, are trained in science and engineering. Therefor we support the work of NEMO Science Museum.
STENIM
STENIM, the Energy-Purchasing Foundation for the Metalworking and Electrical Engineering Industry, an initiative by employers’ organization FME-CWM, was founded to make a difference by reducing gas and energy expenses. Now, STENIM supports NEMO in its mission to make a social difference by promoting science and technology. STENIM’s donation will benefit the development of a new permanent exhibition on the fourth floor Humania.
Stichting Goede Doelen Nh1816 Verzekeringen
As a cooperative insurer, Nh1816’s aim is not to maximize profits. With this philosophy in mind, it supports various socially relevant projects through its Charity Foundation (Stichting Goede Doelen). One of the foundation’s goals is to get young people excited about science and technology, which is why it is making a donation to Humania, a permanent exhibition.
The Mondriaan Fund
The Mondriaan Fund is supporting the renovation of the first floor, which houses exhibits showing how science works. By this means, the fund also promotes NEMO’s sustainable partnerships with Teylers Museum and Boerhaave Museum, which relate to the presentation of the heritage collection.
The Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht
Half of the land area of the Netherlands consists of polders (areas of low-lying land reclaimed from rivers or the sea, and protected by dykes) that are below sea level. That water must be clean and healthy, and its level must neither be too high nor too low. Our strong dykes hold the water at bay, thus ensuring that we stay high and dry. NEMO will be bringing this theme to the public’s attention in the very near future
ThiemeMeulenhoff
ThiemeMeulenhoff and NEMO Science Museum both believe that at a time when scientific research and technological innovations are playing an increasingly significant role in our society, it is essential to inspire a passion for science and technology in education. Together, we are sparking the Netherlands’ curiosity about the future.
VSBfonds
VSBfonds (the VSB fund) supports ventures aimed at creating a society in which everyone participates actively, feels involved, and has opportunities for personal and social growth. By contributing to the renovation of the museum, the fund is ensuring that NEMO will be able to improve its visitors’ experience and reach an even wider audience.
Waternet
Water is all around us. Around our homes, our workplaces, or the places that we use for recreation. Waternet is the only water company in the Netherlands that focuses on the natural circuit formed by all this water: the water cycle. An important part of this cycle is waste water treatment. NEMO is developing information to show visitors how this works.
Zabawas Foundation
Founder of the Zabawas Foundation, the late Mr C.J. Zanen, was managing director of the renowned Dutch dredging company Zanen Verstoep. Given the Zanen family history, it made perfect sense for the Zabawas Foundation to lend its support to the Water Power exhibition, in which water and technology work closely together. The Foundation has also contributed to the development of educational programmes and the Forum in the Humania exhibition.
Partners who have contributed to specific exhibitions:
Forbo, Schiphol, SRON and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
