Netherlands Innovation Network
Netherlandsandyou.nl is the Dutch government’s international website for presenting the Kingdom of the Netherlands and its relations with countries around the world. It is powered by Dutch representations abroad, including embassies, consulates and trade offices, and is maintained by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The site is designed to generate interest and confidence in the Netherlands abroad by showing how Dutch representations work with local partners on trade, development, innovation, culture, human rights, the rule of law and other shared priorities. It also provides country-specific diplomatic information and links to consular services for people travelling, living, working or studying in the Netherlands. Core Values International cooperation : The site emphasizes that global challenges are best addressed through cooperation with local partners, governments, institutions and communities. Trust and confidence : A stated aim of the platform is to build interest and confidence in the Kingdom of the Netherlands abroad through transparent information and visible engagement. Sustainable solutions : Across its themes and programmes, the Dutch government presents long-term, practical approaches to issues such as displacement, climate, water and economic development. Human rights and rule of law : Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are presented as foundational principles for open, free and stable societies. Unique Aspects Government-backed diplomatic platform : The website is developed and maintained by the Dutch government and connects users to more than 150 Dutch embassies and consulates working worldwide. Global network reach : It brings together the work of Dutch representations across countries and regions, giving a single entry point to a broad diplomatic and economic network. PROSPECTS partnership : The site documents PROSPECTS, a long-term programme funded by the Kingdom of the Netherlands with UNHCR, UNICEF, the ILO, the World Bank and the IFC to support refugees and host communities. Cross-institution collaboration : The PROSPECTS pages show a model that combines humanitarian, development, financial and private-sector actors to support systemic solutions rather than short-term aid alone.
