The ‘World Water Week 2024’ is happening now till 29 August in Stockholm and is focused on #water cooperation, for peace and security. This year’s theme is Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future. Water is fundamental to life and integral to our collective vitality – people and ecosystems. Earlier in June, we had a successful Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) where our Dutch Water Envoy, Meike van Ginneken shared in an interview with CNA, the crucial role of public-private partnerships in achieving water security. “These collaborations bring together resources, innovation, and shared responsibilities, making them essential for addressing complex urban water challenges. We need to make sure our water infrastructure is adaptive because climate is changing and build infrastructure for the future.” Join the Government of the Netherlands at #WorldWaterWeek 2024! You can attend some of the events online as well.

#15thAugust 1945 #commemorate victims #respect On the 15th of August 1945 WWII officially ended for 🇳🇱. Every year on this date we commemorate - at different places in the world - all 🇳🇱victims of the Japanese occupation of the then Dutch East Indies. Full of respect and thinking about the victims and their loved ones I laid flowers at the #tree for 🇳🇱civilian victims at the always impactful #Kranji War cemetery. This palm-tree was planted by 🇳🇱 schoolkids in 🇸🇬 during the impressive #4th-of-May commemoration earlier this year, including the presence of the crew of the 🇳🇱fregate #ZrMsTromp. In 🇳🇱 the National Remembrance event takes place every year at the moving #IndiesMonument in The Hague. Unfortunately, after 79 years the phrase ‘Lest-we-forget’ seems to be more #meaningful than ever ……….!

Last month a delegation from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, led by Acting Director-general Business & Innovation, Tjerk Opmeer, visited Singapore to learn and discuss topics related to economic strategy and policy, innovation and collaboration with the aim to strengthen the bilateral innovation partnerships between the Netherlands and Singapore. Singapore is not only a valuable partner for innovation collaboration, but also an interesting partner when it comes to economic policy. In various interactions the delegation learned more about Singapore’s overall economic strategy and the approach towards tech and innovation and resiliency in which international strategic partnerships are an important cornerstone. The DG had several insightful discussions with Dutch entrepreneurs, companies and researchers active in Singapore and Singaporean investors active in the Netherlands. The groups all emphasized the ease of doing business and the valuable ecosystems that they can plug into in both countries. To get a good sense of the existing collaborations we visited TCOMS and CFI with Deltares, A*STAR/IME with ASM and had a fruitful interaction with the Singapore AgriFood ecosystem. The final session of the visit was a joint meeting at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Economic Development Board, where representatives from Enterprise Singapore, A*STAR, NUS and NTU and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency delved into innovation strategy and policy and the role of government in supporting more and stronger collaborations between our two countries. A great interaction that provided valuable insights in the inner workings of our ecosystems and set a foundation for even more interactions and collaborations between our two countries! More will be shared in the upcoming weeks! #NL #SG #innovation #datasciene #agritech #opticaltechnology Ministerie van Economische Zaken TCOMS - Technology Centre for Offshore and Marine, Singapore Coastal Protection and Flood Resilience Institute (CFI) Singapore Deltares Institute of Microelectronics ASM Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore) Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Enterprise Singapore A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research National University of Singapore Nanyang Technological University Singapore Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development Tjerk Opmeer Cato van Schaik Nicole Dirksen Astrid Seegers José Snoep Thijs van der Put
