Whether it’s in battling climate change, improving healthcare or building greener cities, technological development and collaboration can help us make great strides to achieve our common goal.
NL Tech is ready to change the world for the better, together. The Netherlands is proud to present 90 Dutch tech companies at our virtual NL Pavilion so that we all can meet, exchange ideas and foster collaboration. The tech companies will present their latest inventions, spanning every aspect of the tech industry. We will highlight the technology that performs not only independent function but also enable other technology in a matrixed, interconnected ecosystem.
From robust sharing platform for batteries and clean energy to long-range solar-powered vehicles, from virtual reality to early detection of infectious disease. The Netherlands is keen to form new partnerships to co-create pioneering solutions that bring greater economic social and environmental value for everyone.
Gateway to European innovation
Did you know that the Netherlands is ranked by Forbes as the 4th best country for business? We are also among the top 5 countries in the Global Innovation Index for most innovative economy. We are proud of our excellent physical and digital infrastructure, including Europe’s largest port in Rotterdam, which offers you a gateway to European innovation, and the renowned AMS-IX exchange.
The Netherlands strives to maintain a competitive international business climate. Our government offers attractive incentives to stimulate innovation and encourage sustainable business activities.
We cherish diversity and working as a community. Our vast network of professors, students, creative minds, investors, local and national government, and EU institutions – all contribute to an inclusive ecosystem in support of technological innovation. This significant investment in an innovation ecosystem, comprised of local, regional and national hubs, has empowered the Netherlands to not only enable, but also accelerate groundbreaking tech solutions, together.
Let’s co-create to innovate!
“While COVID-19 undoubtedly changed the world in unimaginable and tragic ways, it also exposed an urgency to accelerate entrepreneurship and invention in service of solving existing and emerging global challenge. This year, the Dutch delegation represents a broad spectrum of technological advancements. More importantly, they embody the ambition that when collaboration is paired with innovation, the full capabilities of human potential can be realised.”
