The cooperation focuses on the regions East and Central Netherlands, North Holland and Zeeland. For North Holland, Esther Rommel, deputy of North Holland province, Niels Blij, on behalf of Avy<\/a> chairman of the North-Holland Defence Innovation Steering Group, Bart Sattler, North-West Regional Ambassador of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and Janet Nieboer, CEO of ROM InWest. Earlier, similar agreements were made in South Holland, Limburg and North Brabant.<\/p>\n

Opportunities for North Holland entrepreneurs<\/h4>\n

The cooperation is in line with the Ministry of Defence's ambition to invest heavily in innovation. The focus here is on so-called dual-use technologies - applications that can be used both civilian and military. Dual-use technologies not only contribute to the safety and resilience of the Netherlands, but also strengthen the future earning capacity of the region. For North Holland, this offers great opportunities. \u201cThis cooperation opens new doors for North Holland entrepreneurs working on innovative technologies. Our region has a strong and innovative ecosystem, with companies active in themes such as AI, drones and digital security. This way, we increase their chances of success and accelerate the application of dual-use technology for a resilient society,\u201d said Janet Nieboer, CEO ROM InWest.<\/p>\n
