Strong foundation
A European vision on digital collaboration
The Netherlands offers a unique blend of innovation, pragmatism, and collaboration. With decades of experience in urban planning, water management, ecology, and digital infrastructure, Dutch organisations are recognized leaders in smart mobility, data sharing, and digital twin technology.
Our track record includes national digital systems like ITS, the public transport card, basis registries, and the Dutch Digital Twin architecture - all founded on interoperability, quality and openness.
