Science, manufacturing and data centres

The Netherlands is home to world-class research facilities advancing biomedical and scientific innovation for human and animal health. In addition, the country is a leader in food production, logistics, and advanced manufacturing.

Located at crossroads of the Frankfurt-London-Amsterdam-Paris axis, the Netherlands host data centres for AI, mobile, and emerging technologies providing vital infrastructure for our interconnected world.  

Challenges

While the sector is characterised by rapid growth and innovation, it faces a range of growing pains and challenges. These include sustainability, decarbonisation, land and resource constraints, labour shortages, inflation, and rising operational costs.
