In the context of the municipal elections, we show through our Manifesto what happens when you choose locally and organize regionally. We call on politicians to invest in broad prosperity.
Our partners are building a region that is an international leader in bio science, space tech & data and autonomous tech (including drone technology). That strength is being transformed into broad prosperity so that everyone benefits.
Why this works.
🔹 We connect knowledge and innovation with SMEs, strengthening the entire regional economy.
🔹 We create jobs close to home, reduce travel time and increase livability.
🔹 Each government euro provides at least €3.50 in value.
🔹 We are committed to future-proof business parks, strong supply chains and an attractive business climate.
Our region has the right scale, knowledge and energy to lead the way. But then we have to follow through now.
What we ask of local politicians
➡️ Choose structural cooperation.
➡️ Invest a minimum of €3.25 per resident to fulfill our common tasks.
➡️ Give room for innovation, talent and growth: for residents, entrepreneurs and municipalities.
