The South East Netherlands region is a driving force for the Dutch knowledge economy. In addition to the dynamics found within this Dutch region, internationalisation is important. As part of the Brainport 2020 action programme, a 'Big Ten Regions' network is being established: international, leading, high-tech regions (within a number of top sectors) forming a network together. They are jointly introducing, for example, mechanisms to improve the attraction and exchange of talent among students and employees.
Brainport Development has asked Dialogic to conduct an exploration into potential Big Ten Regions. Main goal: to compile a shortlist of potential collaboration regions through an inventory of the regions with which companies and knowledge and educational institutions in South East Netherlands maintain or intend to maintain strategic relationships that are relevant to the clusters to which Brainport 2020 focuses. In order to gather information on international collaborative relationships, interviews were conducted with 60 organisations (companies, knowledge institutions, and government organisations) from South East Netherlands.
