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.
