How The Hague Contributes

Here, solutions are developed that lie at the intersection of different sectors. The Cybersecurity cluster in The Hague is the most striking example of this. This cluster develops solutions that protect citizens and their personal data, government services, our electricity and road network as well as companies against digital attacks. Disciplines such as computer sciences, behavioral sciences, forensics, psychology and criminology come together in this world, here in The Hague.
