On March 25, Sterk Noord-Nederland brought together administrators, policymakers, and partners at the beautiful Bibliothèque Solvay to showcase how the Northern Netherlands contributes to the future of Europe – through concrete projects in the fields of energy, the circular economy, agriculture, and mobility. The goal: to connect, because the region and Europe need each other. As Jetta Klijnsma, King's Commissioner for the province of Drenthe, said on camera: "We cannot do without Europe, and Europe cannot do without us."

The event was fully organized by Congresbureau Friesland in collaboration with Sterk Noord-Nederland.
