There are significant challenges for our country. Our production is growing less rapidly than before. Other countries are becoming more competitive by the day. Additionally, we need to take measures against climate change. Prosperity may seem self-evident, but it is not. We need to continuously work on strengthening our economy so that we remain an attractive country to live and do business in. In many places, people are working together on projects that enable innovation and where things are improved. Sustainable economic growth ensures that we all have more to spend and we can address the significant challenges of our country. With the National Growth Fund the government is investing 11 billion in projects that will contribute to long-term economic growth in collaboration with project initiators and other investors. And ultimately, we all reap the benefits from these investments. This allows us to continue investing in essential areas like healthcare, education and measures against climate change 50 projects have been approved with a total funding of over 11 billion euros. Many projects have moved beyond the preparatory phase and are actively implementing their plans. Projects that are already well on their way include: Future Work Landscapes, Health Research Infrastructure, AiNed. However, all the other Growth Fund projects will also make valuable contributions to the prosperity and wellbeing of the Netherlands in the years to come.
