The next 15 years will see Den Helder and the region focused on major investments in Defence, infrastructure and area development. What does this mean for the spatial development of the region — and what opportunities does it offer for market parties?
In this session, the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf, Defence, the municipality of Den Helder, the province of Noord-Holland and the Maritiem Cluster Den Helder will explore how defence investments can act as a catalyst for area development. Based on concrete developments in Den Helder, we will discuss collaboration, acceleration and the opportunities for construction companies, developers, maintenance companies, installers, architects and consultancies.
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to meet and network further during a networking lunch.
A session on how investments in security can also contribute to economic growth and spatial quality.
