Franco-Dutch conference on innovation and economic cooperation
2 May 2025
On May 27, a high-level Franco-Dutch economic conference will take place in Paris. The event marks two years since the signing of the Innovation & Sustainable Growth Pact, which promotes collaboration between the two countries in innovation and sustainable development.
The agenda includes three key themes: strategic synergies between France 2030 and the Dutch National Technology Strategy, funding tools for joint innovation, and talent development to support the green and digital transitions.
Senior representatives from government, industry, and academia will take part in the discussions. The panels will be moderated by Freeke Heijman-te Paske, recently appointed as the Netherlands’ Innovation Pact Coordinator for the private sector.
