The goal is not just business growth, but also shared innovation and long-term cooperation. By connecting ideas and expertise, both countries can move forward into future transitions.

The mission is part of the Dutch-French Economic Year 2025, which celebrates and builds on our strong relationship.

Partnering up for sustainable growth!

Chile and the Netherlands cooperate in various areas: agriculture, sustainable mobility, circular economy, ports and logistics, water and hydrogen. Chile is a like-minded country, with an open economy and aiming to export large quantities of renewable hydrogen. The Netherlands is known for its investment climate, its attitude towards innovation, being a reliable and trustworthy partner and for its international commercial politics. The tax treaty between both countries to prevent double taxation will surely boost commerce further. In the hydrogen economy, Chile and the Netherlands work together since the beginning of 2020.

Uncovering business opportunities

Various MoU's, Joint Statements and currently an agenda for strategic cooperation underline this. Not only at government level, also with the Port of Rotterdam. The Netherlands believes in fostering technology as a key enabler in solving global challenges. We’re eager to share our creative, inclusive and out-of-the-box way of thinking with our Chilean partners. We’re joining hands to support the implementation of the renewable hydrogen economy on both sides, while uncovering business opportunities that will allow us to continue developing solutions for further cooperation. We trust we can contribute to the RH2 value chain with this mission. Let’s accelerate the change together!

Driving efficiency for Indonesian sustainable airport development

The United States and the Netherlands face many common healthcare challenges, including an aging population, rising healthcare costs, staff shortages, and the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases. At the same time, expectations for personalized care are steadily increasing, while the healthcare workforce continues to shrink, putting added strain on infrastructure and capacity. These pressures make the balance between quality, accessibility, and affordability more relevant than ever. However, both countries are leaders in healthcare innovation, and their shared commitment to finding solutions creates a strong foundation for collaboration.

This strategic public-private approach aims to create a transatlantic partnership in innovative healthcare, including digital health technologies (HealthTech) and medical technologies (MedTech). It enables Dutch and American companies to scale their innovations and collaborate with United States counterparts to drive meaningful advancements in healthcare delivery across both continents. By working together, this approach helps both Dutch and American healthcare systems benefit from new ideas and innovations.

Together for a safer and more secure Europe

Liaison

The Japanese and the Dutch have an extended history of collaboration, dating back to the early 1600s. Rangaku, originally referring to learning the Dutch language, is testament to Japan's appreciation of the Dutch way of learning and innovating. Today, Rangaku is a synonym for western science. Japan is open to engaging in knowledge sharing with the Netherlands. At the same time, the Dutch are keen to learn from the Japanese and to strengthen the Japanese hydrogen sector by providing experience and innovative technologies.

The long relationship between the two countries has supplied the space to further expand a trusting collaboration which contributes to solving global challenges together. Both the Netherlands and Japan have a strong industry in the field of hydrogen and a high development potential. Through innovative cooperation, both countries can strengthen each other in the developments surrounding both the supply of hydrogen and large-scale and broad applications of hydrogen - in particular applications in industry, mobility and the built environment.

Partnering up for cleaner energy

Worldwide there is an increasing urgency to reduce our global carbon footprint and transition to cleaner energy supplies. Clean hydrogen has rightfully earned a significant reputation in being a key component in the global energy transition. When produced with green energy, hydrogen does not emit any CO2 emissions. With the potential to hold a significant share in the clean energy mix, green hydrogen is an optimal energy carrier for realising the UN's SDGs. With this PIB cluster, we move closer to realising a number of SDGs, fundamentally focusing on SDG7: “Clean and affordable energy”.

Unique to this partnership is the ability to provide each other with knowledge and experience at every step of the hydrogen value chain. Opportunities lie in innovative solutions for hydrogen filling stations, new type of compressors, high pressure hydrogen technology, innovative piping techniques for hydrogen transport and distribution, application for the built environment, fuel cell technologies, and innovative water electrolysis technologies.

Hydrogen: central to the global energy transition

While hydrogen has the ability to create new opportunities for grid balancing, seasonal storage and even global exports of renewable energy, it brings its own set of challenges. The precise demand for clean hydrogen is not easy to predict given the changing market, ongoing developments in R&D and government policy-making. However, its ability to accelerate and decarbonise the renewable energy sector makes it a crucial component to the global energy transition.

This PIB has expertise in every step of the value chain and can offer an integrated set of solutions with proven experience in hydrogen transport, infrastructure and storage. As one of the frontrunners in gas decarbonisation, the Netherlands has knowledge and practice in offshore logistics, co-development, co-creation and following strict regulations. The Dutch are curious and ready to implementing Japanese solutions that will lead to a more enhanced hydrogen economy. By bringing together the research community, (local) government, business, regulators, municipalities and public-private stakeholders, we can make a hydrogen economy happen.
