Access to Knowledge
Within our ecosystem, partners share their knowledge and develop innovative security solutions through the responsible application of emerging technologies, with the common goal to enhance national cyber resilience and broad prosperity.
By providing access to knowledge, innovation, market, capital and talent, HSD creates the right conditions for collaboration and growth. We connect public and private partners on secure by design in chains, such as the energy transition, support governments and end users in addressing complex security challenges, enable knowledge institutions to validate and apply research, and help companies scale and succeed.
The HSD Campus in The Hague is the cluster’s dynamic meeting place, where ideas, expertise and ambition converge. In the future, this campus will be further developed into a national ‘House of Cyber’. By bringing key stakeholders together under one roof, the House of Cyber will enhance trust, cooperation and knowledge exchange, reinforcing collective efforts to strengthen cybersecurity and cyber resilience.

Programme Themes
HSD Office
The Dutch security cluster is supported by HSD Office. As an independent organisation, we accelerate collaboration in the Dutch security cluster, connect businesses, governments and knowledge institutions and facilitate knowledge sharing between them. Together with these organisations, we set up innovation programmes which are open to all who are interested. We also provide HSD Partners with access to market, innovation, knowledge, capital and talent. And establishes both national and international knowledge and trade partnerships. By doing so together with our partners, we also acquire talent, investors, conferences and foreign organisations to the Netherlands.
