We are Holland High Tech
Holland High Tech is the top sector for High Tech Systems and Materials. Businesses, knowledge institutions and government authorities collaborate intensively in innovation-focused public-private partnerships within our ecosystem.
Teams of Holland High Tech experts develop (key) technologies in a framework of 15 road maps that offer structural solutions to challenges in the fields of climate, sustainability, health, safety and mobility.
Holland High Tech's overall aim is to stimulate innovation, collaboration, internationalisation and economic growth. The approach adopted by Holland High Tech has already proven effective as a method for finding solutions and as an incubator for new applications of technology. We actively share this knowledge with the other top sectors and SMEs.
