Nij Begun

Nij Begun is the Economic Agenda for the Groningen and North Drenthe region, a long-term programme of national and regional investment aimed at strengthening the economy of the northern Netherlands. It sets priorities such as technology, talent and tourism, and is carried out by the national government together with regional partners. It matters because it is the main framework for economic renewal in the area, and its implementation plans set out how the funding is spent.
