Join us on June 20th for the next chapter in our journey toward shaping thriving Dutch digital ecosystems — region by region.

Following our last event on operationalizing values in the Dutch digital infrastructure, we now turn our attention to building thriving digital ecosystems - ecosystems that are sustainable, transparent, and create positive local impact.

So what defines a thriving digital ecosystem? It's where local businesses can easily digitalize and stay competitive, where digital startups have room to grow and contribute to the local economy, and where sustainable digital infrastructure supports both established companies and new innovators. A thriving digital ecosystem keeps talent, wealth, and innovation within the region, maintaining its sovereignty.

This event brings together regional policymakers, leaders, and innovators to showcase progress and concrete actions already underway and to collaborate to create next steps for digital ecosystems that benefit communities, businesses and the environment.

Join us on June 20th for the next chapter in our journey toward shaping thriving Dutch digital ecosystems — region by region.
