What we do
The Netherlands Innovation Network (NIN) stimulates international cooperation between companies, research institutes and public authorities in the fields of innovation, technology and science. They do this on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
The network's activities support the implementation of the Dutch government's international knowledge and innovation agenda. We address national and global challenges. Through international cooperation and our global network of offices, we want to further develop key technologies listed in the National Technology Strategy (NTS).
We develop international cooperation by:
- providing knowledge and information on the latest innovation, technology and science developments around the world;
- connecting to potential partners abroad;
- organising innovation missions, seminars, workshops, and matchmaking events abroad;
- identifying funding mechanisms for bi- and multilateral cooperation.
