The Transatlantic Bridge: US Capital as a Strategic Instrument for Dutch Deep Tech

Dutch deep tech companies need American capital, clients, and partners to grow internationally. This doesn't have to be a threat, according to Invest-NL in a new report. On the contrary: the transatlantic capital route can be a strategic instrument, provided the Netherlands focuses more sharply on maintaining knowledge, talent, R&D, and economic value within the Dutch and European ecosystems. 

This is evident from the report The Transatlantic Bridge: US Capital as a Strategic Instrument for Dutch Deep Tech, prepared by Invest-NL, the Netherlands Innovation Network in Boston, and the Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in New York. The report is based on more than 50 interviews with American investors, Dutch founders, ecosystem parties, and public stakeholders, complemented by quantitative analysis of trans-Atlantic investment flows.
