The Netherlands / Kingdon of the Netherlands / Holland

There was a lot of confusion about the official name of our country: is it Holland or is it the Netherlands?

The Netherlands was chosen to give a more complete picture and Holland was dropped. To do this, a work group was set up in 2017 consisting of people from both the private and public sector with the objective of communicating more clearly with a more modern message, which everyone can relate to.

In Ukrainian:

Відтепер країна називається тільки Нідерланди та Королівство Нідерландів, а не Голландія.

Вживаємо також прикметник "нідерландський" для перекладу "Dutch", замість "голландський".

Brand values

The Netherlands has a reputation for combining inclusive thinking with an open and inventive approach to working. In part this is due to our history: cooperation has deep roots in our culture, due to the constant danger of flooding that this country has always faced. We offer not only expertise but also a wide-ranging perspective that extends across industry sectors. This is why we are international leaders in fields like agriculture, logistics and water management, along with photonics, medical robotics and semi-conductors.

Our outlook can be summarised with three core concepts:

  • openness: we value freedom, transparency and clarity;
  • inventiveness: we always look for innovative and pragmatic solutions;
  • inclusivity: we look for win-win-win solutions and forms of cooperation that transcend sectors and national borders.
