When idea meets reality, that's #newdutch
Recently, the New Dutch movement has been initiated. It is an initiative by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions (NBTC), along with the cities of Eindhoven and Rotterdam, aiming to showcase innovative Netherlands. In addition to these partners, Leiden and 11 other cities and regions are joining to demonstrate how innovative the Netherlands is in the coming years. Alongside the traditional Dutch heritage and art, the concept of "New Dutch" is being promoted to present a different image of the Netherlands.
