In today’s world, innovative capacity is directly related to economic growth. A lack of IT professionals limits this innovative capacity. The dutch digital delta has therefore set up the Human Capital Agenda (HCA). Within the HCA, knowledge institutions, businesses and governments cooperate to attract young people to the jobs of the future. They will, for example, do this in the form of scholarships and internships in the early stages of the educational process, and through retraining in the later stages.

In addition to strengthening the innovative capacity of the Netherlands, it also makes the Netherlands a more attractive country for international investors. HSD sees the HCA as a best practice and will make use of the lessons learned to also attract more people towards a career in the field of security. In 2016 HSD will for example organise several events related to security talent.
