The Amsterdam Centre for Business Innovation of the University of Amsterdam, led by its director Henk Volberda, is a partner institute of the World Economic Forum and collected the data for the Netherlands.

Key findings

Some of the key findings of the report were that while the Dutch economy has become more agile, it is lagging behind when it comes to investing in R&D and ICT.

Professor Henk Volberda: ‘The Netherlands has a very open and dynamic economy (2^nd place) that maximises its economic growth. Our country has high-quality, world class physical and digital infrastructure (4^th place in the ranking), a stable macroeconomic policy (1^st place), an efficient government with effective institutions (4^th place) and a highly educated workforce (4^th place)'.
