Our network thrives on long-standing collaboration between government, science, and education, and this event underscores our commitment to connecting key partners within the Dutch innovation ecosystem. 🤝 A heartfelt thank you to Wageningen University & Research, MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands), NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre, TNO, and Deltares for your invaluable contributions in making this day a success!
