Netherlands Innovation Network Germany

🌱🤝 This is how the Netherlands Innovation Network Germany and the Netherlands Agricultural Network in Germany at the Dutch Embassy in Berlin work together at the *Food Ingredients Fair* in Frankfurt 2024!   The Dutch Pavilion showcased some of the most exciting start-ups and scale-ups from the Netherlands, also from the Provincie Noord-Brabant, all working towards nothing less than a culinary revolution.   Among the many innovative ideas, we had inspiring talks about the unique products that could change the future of food. To mention a few:   ✨ *Tasty smoky dipping sauces* made from the residue of coffee production – transforming by-products into a flavorful delight. by Caffe Inc. ✨ *Microalgae* cracked open to release its powerful characteristics, ready to elevate the taste and nutritional profile of sauces and snacks. by AlgaeforFood ✨ *Plant-based proteins* extracted from casual grass, but for human consumption, while the residue still serves as fodder for cows. by Grassa | Unlocking the full potential of Grass | Biomass   It’s pretty clear: Dutch ingenuity is at the forefront of sustainability and innovation in food production! 🌍💡   We are incredibly proud to support these pioneers as they continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the food industry. Looking forward to seeing how these game-changing ideas will shape the future of food! 🍽️ #FIEurope #Agrifood #NL #FoodInnovation #Sustainability #DutchInnovation #FoodIngredients2024 #AgriTech #CulinaryRevolution

Following this, we had an insightful meeting at the Silicon Saxony Pavilion with Mr. Frank Bösenberg to dive even deeper into the role of “Silicon Saxony” as Europe’s semiconductor powerhouse.   Alongside a productive exchange with the Bavarian Chip Alliance, we received a warm welcome from Neways Electronics International NV and Trymax Semiconductor. We were also pleased to be joined by our colleagues from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, adding valuable perspectives to our discussions on innovation and resilience within Europe. 👏 A special thank you goes to High Tech NL, Tom van der Dussen, Jennifer Burns for organizing a fantastic Dutch pavilion and the program surrounding it.   #Semiconductor #Innovation #NetherlandsInnovationNetwork

✨ Today our Innovation Team visited ASML in Berlin, formerly known as Berliner Glas (founded in 1952). ASML Berlin plays a critical role in the production of ASML's EUV machines, supplying key components like wafer table, clamps, reticle chucks and mirror blocks. These parts are essential to the production of microchips - powering smartphones, computers and countless other devices in our daily lives. We were very happy to “nerd out” and witness firsthand the intricate process of manufacturing mirror blocks! 🙏 Many thanks to Andreas Nitze, Markus Matthes, Kai Pacholski and Toni Schure for your invitation, for all the information you have provided us with and for the factory tour. You were so generous sharing your expertise and providing a closer look at the technologies driving innovation in this highly specialized industry! #NetherlandsInnovationNetwork #Lithography

👉 Today marks the start of 𝗦𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗡 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗮! The Netherlands is one of only three countries in the world - along with the USA and Japan - to have the entire semiconductor value chain within its borders.

This summer we were sad to say goodbye to our esteemed colleague and Innovation Policy advisor Christiaan Mennes, who has moved on to a new chapter at Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). As the driving force behind our work in defence innovation, Christiaan brought dedication, vision and invaluable know-how to our team 💡. Of course, we could not let him go without first sitting down for an interview in which he reflected on his time at the Botschaft des Königreichs der Niederlande. Although his absence and positive energy is truly felt, we are happy to see him continue to make impactful changes in his new role! 🙌 #NetherlandsInnovationNetwork #farewell #DefenseInnovation
