Value for the Dutch high tech industry

The Dutch vehicle industry, which we call Automotive, is one of the sectors that achieves high export figures, around 20 billion annually. This technology is the result of our leading position in the field of knowledge and innovation. Automotive is one of the cornerstones of the High Tech Systems and Materials sector and faces major challenges given the importance of reducing CO2 emissions. Challenges that include the transition to smart mobility, with new energy (carriers) in the form of electricity and hydrogen, a new generation of battery technology, sustainable production and increased safety. In short: future-proof mobility systems!

What we do as Holland High Tech 

Holland High Tech supports the sector by funding research and innovation and - as a facilitator - by finding the right partners in the business community, and within government and education. We contribute to the international perspective.
