Key Industries in the Netherlands

The Netherlands is working hard to create integrated solutions for a wide range of global challenges. We do this across a variety of industries through partnerships between governments, corporations, researchers and universities.

The Dutch approach: joining forces for thoughtful innovation

The Dutch government has committed to a focus on nine key industries and maintaining a top-level engagement to help solve global challenges. The agenda is aligned with the development and cooperation of foreign trade while striving to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth at home, in developing countries and worldwide.

The goal is to create conditions and measures for inclusive growth to boost global efforts and achieve sustainable advancements in economic, social and environmental areas. Using extensive knowledge and experience working on projects from climate change to corporate social responsibility, the Netherlands is working to significantly contribute to sustainable and inclusive progress nationally as well as globally.
