In the context of the municipal elections, we show through our Manifesto<\/a> what happens when you choose locally and organize regionally. We call on politicians to invest in broad prosperity. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Manifesto<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Why this works.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • We connect knowledge and innovation with SMEs, strengthening the entire regional economy.<\/li>\n
  • We create jobs close to home, reduce travel time and increase livability.<\/li>\n
  • Each government euro provides at least \u20ac3.50 in value.<\/li>\n
  • We are committed to future-proof business parks, strong supply chains and an attractive business climate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Our region has the right scale, knowledge and energy to lead the way. But then we have to follow through now. <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    What we ask of local politicians<\/b><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Choose structural collaboration.<\/li>\n
    • Invest a minimum of \u20ac3.25 per resident to fulfill our common tasks.<\/li>\n
    • Give room for innovation, talent and growth: for residents, entrepreneurs and municipalities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      Together we make Key Region Leiden the engine for broad prosperity.
      \nFor the Netherlands, for Europe, for life: Science for life.<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n

      What it delivers<\/h3>\n
