📣 "The Dutch economy, built on natural gas, petrochemical products and large-scale agriculture, needs a completely new recipe for prosperity. High-tech manufacturing, together with biochemistry and IT-driven services, could form three main new ingredients. The opportunities in these industries are huge, but companies need to be enabled much better." Read here the opinion article by Anton Duisterwinkel, senior business development manager at InnovationQuarter and member of the board by Hi Delta. 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/efHGgCHD)
