The Hague innovation hubs Unknown Group, Security Delta (HSD), Campus@Sea, The Hague Tech and The Hague Humanity Hub jointly presented an action agenda on Prinsjesdag to Alderman Richard de Mos, and through him to the Municipal Executive of The Hague. After ten years of building their individual innovation ecosystems from The Hague, the organisations are now joining forces to further strengthen The Hague’s position as an innovative and future-proof city.
The Hague has a strong international position as the City of Peace, Justice and Security. Innovation is essential to maintain and further strengthen this position in the future. Together with the municipality, the innovation hubs therefore aim to achieve concrete results that stimulate innovation, entrepreneurship and economic growth in the city.
The action agenda focuses on five joint actions:
1. European Defence & Security Week
From April 2027 onwards, The Hague will annually become the international stage for a week dedicated to defence and security. Various events will be brought together to connect businesses, governments, knowledge institutions, talent and investors.
2. Labs as growth engines for innovation
The Hague’s living labs help companies move from experimentation to real-world application and scalable business cases. Innovations are tested in practice and showcased to the market and investors.
3. Secure decentralised energy hubs
By combining local energy solutions, digitalisation and cybersecurity, the partners contribute to solutions for grid congestion. Smart, locally managed energy networks create capacity for the growth of businesses in The Hague while also generating new economic opportunities.
4. Humanity Open Innovation Campus
The Humanity Open Innovation Campus brings together international organisations and knowledge institutions to increase their collective impact and further strengthen The Hague as an international knowledge hub in the field of Peace, Justice and Security.
5. The Hague Entrepreneurship Centre
The Hague Entrepreneurship Centre brings together educational institutions and public and private partners to encourage entrepreneurship among students and young people. This gives new entrepreneurs and innovators more opportunities to develop and grow in The Hague.
The action agenda is not only about ambitions, but above all about implementation. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Municipality of The Hague and our partners to turn these ambitions into concrete results and work together towards an innovative, resilient and economically strong city.
