Mission: Turning policy into reality

We promote sustainable development and innovation, both within the Netherlands and abroad. We aim to achieve tangible results that have a positive effect on the economy and on society as a whole.

 

Our core competence is converting government policy into reality. On behalf of the Dutch government we implement policies regarding science and innovation.
NL Innovation also works on behalf of international organisations such as the European Union and foreign governments. Through us these organisations gain access to a broad Dutch network of knowledge institutes, research centres, trade associations, companies and government officials. We also participate in numerous international platforms and counselling groups.
