The province of North Brabant has a strong and diverse economy. In order to further stimulate economic growth and business activity, physical space is needed, for example for the establishment of new companies, business parks, and campuses. However, the available space in Brabant is limited and insufficient to realise all ambitions. Therefore, choices need to be made. It is important to know which value chains (and underlying industries) are decisive for the future earning capacity of the province and to examine how these will further develop economically and spatially. On behalf of the Province of North Brabant, Dialogic, in collaboration with KplusV, is conducting an exploratory study on existing and emerging high-value chains in North Brabant and how they are developing in the medium and long term. The central question is to what extent the spatial plans and forecasts align with the expected developments from the industry and knowledge institutions. The results of this research will provide the province with tools to strategically steer regional economic development, strengthen the competitive position of North Brabant, and promote sustainable growth.
