About Top Sector Logistics

The Netherlands does good business internationally with trade and industry. To maintain this top position, the Netherlands must remain competitive. We do this, among other things, by investing in the 10 top sectors, missions for the future and key technologies. Top Sector Logistics is one of those 10 top sectors. Since 2011, large and small entrepreneurs within top sectors have been working closely with scientists and the government. The Netherlands is a leader in logistics. This makes our country an attractive business location. Logistics is also indispensable for other sectors, such as healthcare, food and manufacturing. This makes logistics an important economic sector. To stay ahead internationally, innovation remains necessary. In addition, logistics has a major task to reduce CO2 and other emissions. In the Logistics Top Sector program, companies, knowledge institutions and governments are working together on innovations for competitive and emission-free logistics. This is done through research, knowledge and tool development and scaling up.
