World Economic Forum Food Innovation Hubs and the Netherlands

So the role of businesses in the agri-food sector should be stimulated and able to create scalable, uh, solutions.

And here I'd like to highlight a, a World Economic Forum initiative in this regard, the World Economic, uh, Forum Food Innovation Hubs.

And these hubs in Africa, in Asia, in South America, and in Europe, uh, will allow, uh, businesses to connect regional stakeholders to scale innovations, because this is key, scale innovations that can address food systems challen-- food systems challenges.

And here, uh, I'm particularly proud to announce that the Netherlands will host the global coordinating secretariat of the World Economic Forum Food Innovation Hubs, which will connect all other food innovation hubs.

And I believe this is important because it will be facilitating to create, uh, the partnerships we need.
