How does the Amsterdam Economic Board work?

Achieving a future-proof economy requires collective leadership. By surpassing yourself and taking joint responsibility for the complex strategic issues in the region.

With our coalitions, we ensure collective leadership. This means that partners in a coalition take responsibility for implementing our joint agenda. Each partner contributes from their own expertise, enabling us to tackle major issues together. Here’s how this works:

• Connecting partners and stimulating innovation
  We connect partners and ensure mutual trust and knowledge sharing, so that cooperation can flourish. To stimulate innovation and achieve real breakthroughs, we bring together public and social institutions as well as private companies in coalitions.
• Implementing a joint agenda and fund coalitions
  As an independent intermediary, we ensure that all parties bring their joint interests and problems to the surface. This results in common goals that everyone works towards.
• Putting the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area on the map
  We bring our strategic-economic agenda and the results of the coalitions in the spotlight by sharing them. This provides a clear picture for the government and the European Union, outlining our region’s contribution and issues. Together we discuss what is needed to further strengthen our contribution to the economy.
