Urgent transitions

Four urgent transitions

With fifteen innovation roadmaps and a coordinating role in the Knowledge and Innovation Agendas (KIAs) Key Technologies and Safety, Holland High Tech is focused on urgent transitions with a focus on economic and social impact. In a constantly changing landscape of funding support for research and innovation, we at Holland High Tech strive for ways to add value to both the sector and the ongoing urgent transitions.

From our innovation domains, we bring parties together around technologies and applications that contribute to these transitions. We also focus on this in our coordinating role within the Knowledge and Innovation Agendas (KIAs) Key Enabling Technologies and Security. In doing so, we are constantly looking for ways to add lasting value to both the sector and the ongoing urgent transitions within a dynamic financial landscape.

Circular economy

At Holland High Tech we recognize that the circular economy is an increasingly important topic for the high-tech manufacturing industry. We are strongly committed to this theme, because we are convinced that the high-tech sector must make an essential contribution to achieving the objectives for a circular economy. Holland High Tech's Circular Economy Transition Team emphasizes this importance and is working specifically on implementation via roadmaps.

VISION 2030

We look to the future: to the urgent transitions, the innovations that contribute to them and our role in this as a high-tech sector. We cannot do this alone, but we do this together with stakeholders from our ecosystem: leaders from the business community, from knowledge institutions and training courses and from the government. We will work together!
