The Netherlands faces major security challenges: threats at Europe’s borders and new dangers such as cyberattacks and disinformation. Our security cannot be taken for granted. Protecting it requires smart and innovative ideas.
Innovating with society
Security is not just the government's job; it is your responsibility too. That is why The Ministry of Defence wants to work not only for citizens, but with them. Everyone has knowledge, experience or creativity that can contribute. Young or old, entrepreneurs to local residents: together we can develop innovative solutions that would often remain unnoticed without the input of citizens. Through new and accessible forms of collaboration, surprising ideas can emerge that allow us to draw on the innovative potential that is present in society.
Dutch Design Week
During Dutch Design Week, we invite you to join us in an experiment to explore how citizens and Defence can best work together. How can your knowledge and experience help keep the Netherlands safe? Join us during Dutch Design Week!
