Drenthe is mentioned once in the coalition agreement that D66 leader Jetten, VVD leader Yesilgöz and CDA leader Bontenbal presented today. However, there are several themes that influence the province.
This concerns smoother claims settlement in the event of earthquake damage in Groningen and North Drenthe. To ensure smooth claim settlement and complete the reinforcement operation, a Government Commissioner for the Groningen Recovery Operation appointed.
This person will also be co-responsible for the implementation of the Nij Begun program about prospects for Groningen and North Drenthe. In addition, the phasing out of onshore gas extraction is being done in a responsible manner with the sector.
The coalition agreement also states that the construction of an AI factory in the Northern Netherlands will be stimulated. “We are building a digitally resilient society using an ecosystem approach, in which we take a step forward together with education, business and government so that everyone can fully benefit from the opportunities of artificial intelligence.”
