Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Annual investments in the region of South-Holland and its effect on the Netherlands
Nearly 80 organisations (governments, businesses and knowledge institutions and clusters) in South-Holland will be investing €1.4 billion annually in the regional economy over the next decade. This is how the region will combat the effects of the Covid-19 crisis, high unemployment and lagging economic growth in the region, and how a significant reduction in CO2 emissions will be achieved. It will also give a substantial impulse to the large housing challenge and the accessibility and livability of the region. The OECD, Erasmus University Rotterdam and NEO Observatory have calculated that the Netherlands as a whole will benefit from these South Holland investments.
The plans are set out in the South Holland Growth Agenda, which was launched on 16 March during a conference attended by the director of the Social and Cultural Planning Office, Kim Putters, Ingrid Thijssen, chair of VNO-NCW, Edith Schippers, president of DSM, Tim van der Hagen, rector magnificus of TU Delft and Jaap Smit, the King's Commissioner.
"The South Holland Growth Agenda will solve the biggest social challenges and earn the Netherlands many extra billions of euros," says the King's Commissioner, Jaap Smit. "But we will only succeed if the State adds €1 billion annually to our investments and takes a more integrated view of the region. Closer cooperation with the State is logical because the Netherlands as a whole will benefit from investments in South Holland." The Growth Agenda consists of numerous concrete projects that can be implemented quickly and that fit in well with the National Growth Fund and the funds of the European Union, among other things.
