The Northern Netherlands: regional solutions for European challenges
The Northern Netherlands is ready to partner with the European Union to tackle the major challenges of today and tomorrow. New policymakers are taking their place in European institutions with a fresh direction emerging for the years ahead. The Northern Netherlands, with its proven track record in areas like green energy, mobility, circular economy, and sustainable agriculture, is uniquely positioned to help shape this future. As a microcosm of Europe, our region offers scalable solutions that can strengthen Europe’s position on the global stage, and we are eager to collaborate in making these ambitions a shared reality.
As Europe sets its course for continued growth, green industry, innovation, and competitiveness, our region is aligned with these strategic priorities. The Northern Netherlands has a clear, steady vision across these areas, and we are ready to collaborate with Europe’s new leadership to support their transformative agenda. Whether it’s through pioneering work in green hydrogen as part of our Hydrogen Valley, creating smart and sustainable mobility solutions, or leading the way in circular innovation, the Northern Netherlands has the expertise to turn European ambitions into reality.
Helping Europe reach its ambitions
Europe is at a crossroads. New political priorities require innovative solutions, and the Northern Netherlands is well-prepared to assist in this renewal. Our region understands that the transition to a circular economy, the shift to renewable energy, and the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices are not just local goals, but European imperatives. Our experience and success in these fields can offer valuable insights for European policymakers.
We believe that by working together, regional expertise can drive European success. The Northern Netherlands doesn’t just follow the trends – it sets them. We are proud to have made significant strides in energy transition, leveraging our unique position to store and produce renewable energy, particularly green hydrogen. Our work on circular economy principles, which we’ve integrated into regional business practices and innovation policies, demonstrates how regions can serve as testbeds for European-wide adoption of sustainable practices.
Europe’s challenges are our challenges, and as such, we are eager to share our best practices with the new European leadership to help develop policies that are not only effective, but grounded in real-world experience.
