Innovatiepact Working Dinner
We want to work more closely with Germany on the themes of Smart Industry, mobility, energy and key technologies. A Technology & Innovation Pact was signed between the two countries on this in 2021. This has already led to a number of joint meetings and projects, such as Smart Factory EU. To give further substance to this collaboration, a dinner will be organized on Sunday evening with a total of 36 Dutch and German participants. Among others, Focco Vijselaar, Director-General for Business and Innovation at the Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate, Marc Hendrikse, figurehead of the Top Sector High Tech Systems & Materials (HTSM) and Ronald van Roeden, the Dutch ambassador in Germany.
