Background

The global society is digitalizing at a rapid pace and fast developments in the field of high-tech are taking place. Moreover, the contemporary world is facing many upcoming challenges, which ask for innovative solutions. The Dutch spirit of innovation arises on the opportunities of cooperation. A lot of common ground is found with our partners in Japan: just like us, Japan has an open economy and is a leader in high-tech, societal challenges are similar, such as labour shortages, an ageing population, carbon emissions and reliable supply chains. Recent Japanese government policies are stimulating international collaboration which offer many opportunities. By working together, we can contribute to our mutual ambitions and uphold technological leadership.
