Enterpreneurship and innovation
Water, food, horticulture, high tech, life sciences, chemicals, energy, logistics, creative industry and head offices – these are the sectors in which the Netherlands excels. The Dutch government, entrepreneurs and researchers will invest in these sectors to promote further growth.
The government will set lower taxes in return for fewer subsidies. There will be less red tape and better services. And tax benefits for investors in innovative products.
