Dutch Digital Conference
Since 2019 the Dutch government organises the Dutch Digital Conference every year. The first conference took place in Hilversum in March 2019, the second took place in Groningen in March 2021. Representatives from the scientific community, the world of work, civil society organisations and government exchanged knowledge and agreed to join forces to manage the rapid technological developments that are rapidly transforming Dutch society and the economy.
Conference as a catalyst
Digitalisation is transforming the Dutch economy and society. Taking full advantage of the opportunities it offers while addressing the challenges requires cooperation between:
- public authorities
- businesses
- knowledge institutions
- civil society organisations
The Dutch Digital Conference brings parties together and acts as a catalyst for cooperation. It is one of the ways that the government is promoting the implementation and ongoing development of the Dutch Digitalisation Strategy.
