Innovative economy
The Dutch welfare state is under pressure. Healthcare costs are rising, pension costs are increasing, and fewer and fewer people are working per retiree. If we want to keep our welfare state intact, a more productive workforce is the only way forward.
That requires the right conditions to stimulate innovation. Science funding that’s put to effective use. Valorisation that runs smoothly, so that knowledge from universities actually reaches the market. The right rules to encourage innovative companies. And policy that attracts scientific and technical top talent to the Netherlands, and keeps it here.
The Delta Institute is committed to a broad innovation ecosystem, one where the voices of emerging players are heard too — and where the future of the Netherlands lies.
That way, we create high-quality jobs in the Netherlands, strengthen our future earning power, and lay the groundwork for an ecosystem that can take on the biggest challenges of our time.
