Nearly 80 governments, companies and knowledge institutions in South Holland will invest 1.4 billion euros annually in the regional economy over the next decade. In this way, the region is combating the effects of the corona crisis, high unemployment and lagging economic growth in the region and a significant CO2 reduction is achieved.
A significant boost will also be given to the major housing challenge and the accessibility and quality of life of the region, according to the South Holland Growth Agenda presented on Tuesday 16 March.
TU Delft Campus
TU Delft Campus plays an important role in the realisation of these plans, which were launched during a conference with, among others, the director of the Social Cultural Planning Office, Kim Putters, Ingrid Thijssen, chairman of VNO-NCW, Edith Schippers, president of DSM, King’s Commissioner Jaap Smit and Tim van der Hagen, Rector Magnificus of TU Delft.
Quantum, AI, Health and Energy
Van der Hagen: “With these announced investments in innovation, the Dutch economy can get a kick-start. At the TU Delft Campus, for example, we work together with the business community, governments and other knowledge institutions to strengthen our ecosystems around Quantum Technology, AI, Health and Energy, which will also expand the enormous potential that lies in these areas in South Holland into a sustainable future ”.
