• Triskelion, food analysis, food safety testing
• Efectis Nederland, fire performance of products
• Tass International, testing of helmets, child seats, seat belts
• TÜV Nederland, testing of glass, paints/coatings, textiles

In principle, we do not participate in external sponsorship. TNO is a non-profit organisation and doesn’t have its own budget, which means there is no freedom to spend financial resources. Available funds are entrusted to us by the government and other clients, among others, for investment in research and innovation.

In case of a complaint about the actions of TNO or a TNO employee and all other questions, requests, and documents regarding legal issues, please contact the Corporate legal and compliance department.

All information is available on the TNO Pension Fund website.
