Happy World Cities Day! Today, we celebrate the vital role cities play in promoting biodiversity and creating healthier urban environments. Green spaces—like parks, vertical gardens, and urban farms—not only enhance the beauty of our cities but also provide essential benefits for our health and well-being. By incorporating nature into urban planning, we can combat air pollution, reduce urban heat, and mitigate climate change impacts. Studies show that green spaces can lower stress levels, improve mental health, and promote physical activity. Plus, initiatives like vertical gardens and urban agriculture are transforming our cities into self-sustaining ecosystems, allowing us to grow fresh vegetables right where we live! The Netherlands is committed to enhancing biodiversity through its Nature-Inclusivity Agenda 2.0, which emphasises the integration of natural elements in urban development. This policy framework encourages collaboration between various sectors, aiming to create resilient cities that support diverse ecosystems while prioritising the health and well-being of their residents. By leading international efforts to promote sustainable practices, we are paving the way for a greener future where urban biodiversity thrives. Together, we can create environments that nurture our communities and foster a healthier planet. #WorldCitiesDay #Biodiversity #FarmingtheFuture Netherlands Agricultural Network Ministerie van Landbouw, Visserij, Voedselzekerheid en Natuur Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken

Food must be affordable for all. In the Netherlands, we believe access to affordable, nutritious food is essential for reducing poverty and inequality. Our policies focus on innovative farming and fair markets, working with global partners to make healthy food accessible to everyone. In #France, we’re partnering to develop sustainable food systems that lower costs for consumers while supporting farmers. Let's break the barriers to affordable, sustainable food.

On #WorldFoodDay, the Netherlands reaffirms its commitment to ensuring food security globally through innovative and sustainable practices. This year’s theme, The Right to Food, highlights the pressing need for everyone to have access to nutritious food. As global challenges grow, food security is more important than ever. In #WestAfrica, the Netherlands is working with local partners to boost horticultural development and promote agroecological solutions. In Côte d'Ivoire, the HortiNord project focuses on empowering young ‘hortipreneurs’ by providing training in sustainable greenhouse farming and modern agricultural techniques. This programme is transforming horticulture and creating opportunities for future generations. Meanwhile in #Senegal, the HortiCôte programme addresses food sovereignty by supporting vegetable production through sustainable, climate-resilient practices. By partnering with Dutch businesses, we’re fostering innovation and collaboration to ensure a stable food supply, while also creating jobs and promoting youth entrepreneurship. Together, through initiatives like these, we can build a world where everyone has the right to healthy, sustainable food.

Tuesday, at CES Unveiled in the Amsterdam Conference Centre Beurs van Berlage, 50 Dutch startups and scale-ups are showcasing their innovations. From January 7-10, these companies will head to Las Vegas for the world's largest tech event, #CES2025. From digital health to AI, consumer tech, and sustainability, these companies represent the future of technology. For Lotje Sauer, this will be her first CES experience with the startup MOOS Solutions. MOOS provides real-time visibility on inventory levels & -movements using paper-based sensors. This is a game changer for companies managing stock across locations, ranging from retail to industry. Sauer says: "We're given an incredible platform at CES, and you have to make the most of your time - we're preparing to use every minute to its fullest." Seasoned participant Han Dirkx, COO and co-founder of alphabeats, an award winning, science-backed neurofeedback platform (category digital health), shares advice: "Prepare well, start asking questions early, and present yourself like an American: your product is the best. And most importantly, have a lot of fun!" alphabeats has since grown into a scale-up and has opened its doors in Los Angeles, alongside their office in Eindhoven. As the window into tomorrow's world, innovation strategist Brian Comiskey from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) highlights a key role for Gen Z, with 32% of tech participants globally coming from this generation. We’re looking forward to CES 2025! - 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. #CESUnveiled #NLatCES2025 #DutchTech #InnovatingForASmartFuture
