Friesland is a leader in several knowledge areas; the innovative solutions that Friesland produces in water technology, sustainable agriculture, food issues and circularity have enjoyed international attention for years. Thanks to the large number of research and educational institutions like Wetsus and the Center of Expertise Water Technology, Leeuwarden is the beating heart for talent and activity in the Water Technology area. The title European Capital of Water Technology emphasizes the expertise and innovation in Friesland.

Sustainable agriculture and circularity are also very important in Friesland. As an agri-food province, with the help of the Dairy Campus, biodiversity and sustainable agriculture are continuously improved. Sustainability and circularity are at the centre of innovation and collaboration in Friesland, which resulted in a global recognition as the
most circular region during the Circular Economy Summit in São Paulo in 2025.

Friesland is known for tailor made and joint solutions. Thanks to short lines of communication with professional parties, 293 accommodations and 37 conference room providers, your event will be set up in its own unique way. This unicity is what puts this province so much on the map as a congress destination. The unique Frisian characteristics and its leading position in key sectors ensured that the Frisian capital of Leeuwarden was named European Capital of Culture in 2018! Friesland proudly celebrates this, as the spectacle will be repeated in 2022, 2025 and 2028 with new
cultural festivities.
