Allies in Tech

No single country can win the global tech race alone. It takes strong alliances, and when it comes to technology, the United States and the Netherlands make an indispensable team.

The bedrock of modern technology is semiconductor manufacturing, and the Netherlands sits at the center of it. In fact, nearly every advanced microchip in the world is made using Dutch lithography machines.

Without this Dutch technology, the microchips that power American artificial intelligence, advanced defense platforms, and daily essentials like smartphones could not exist. This is what a close alliance looks in practice: Dutch engineering and American innovation depend on each other. This partnership  has made our nationss capable and secure.

But this partnership stretches far beyond microchips, into:

  • Next-Gen Computing: Dutch and American scientists are working side-by-side on breakthroughs in quantum computing and photonics.

  • Healthcare & Life Sciences: Through initiatives like the NL USA Health Accelerator, an international program linking the major Dutch medical hub, Erasmus MC, directly with the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator+ network in Los Angeles, Dutch biotech firms partner directly with American universities and hospital systems to build advanced medical equipment that catches illnesses at the earliest stages.

  • Climate Resilience: Decades of Dutch water management expertise are helping cities design infrastructure to survive severe weather, as seen through the Resilient Cities Network, a global urban alliance headquartered in New York and Amsterdam that helps flood-prone American hubs like New Orleans, Miami, and Houston climate-proof their local infrastructure.

This isn't a one-way street; it's a reciprocal alliance.

By signing agreements with states like Arizona, New York, and Massachusetts, we are connecting Dutch startups with American innovation ecosystems. Together, we combine US scale with Dutch specialization to create high-quality jobs and build a resilient technological future.
