Zuid-Holland’s economy and knowledge and innovation infrastructure will be strengthened thanks to investments from the National Growth Fund announced today by the demissionary government. The money will go towards improving accessibility, Health, Quantum, Green Power and Artificial Intelligence.
Jaap Smit, the King’s Commissioner and chairman of the Economic Board of Zuid-Holland, is pleased with the funding: “This is a recognition of Zuid-Holland’s position as the engine of the Dutch economy, where 25% of the national income is earned. The engine was faltering and now the government, too, is backing the plans of 80 local authorities, companies and knowledge institutions in Zuid-Holland to invest in the regional economy. The whole of the Netherlands will benefit from this.”
