The Hague & Partners to Stimulate The Hague​ Economy and Job Market

Under the banner of The Hague & Partners, Den Haag Marketing, The Hague Convention Bureau and WestHolland Foreign Investment Agency are joining forces as of today. Deputy Mayor Karsten Klein officially launched the umbrella organisation during a festive event at the Fokker Terminal. The Hague & Partners aims to attract and retain more national and international visitors, conferences and companies/organisations for The Hague through marketing and acquisition. During the event, three awards were also presented to special initiatives and projects with an economic spin-off for the city. The Leisure Award went to Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Mondriaan Year, The Conference Award was won by World Forum The Hague and Jacobs was the proud winner of The Business Award.  

The Hague & Partners aims to give the city’s economy and job market a strong boost. The city is already firmly on the map both at home and abroad, and, through this collaboration, The Hague’s profile is to be strengthened even further. 

Deputy Mayor Karsten Klein is very pleased with the pooling of strengths: “The time was ripe for a single economic home for marketing and acquisition in the form of a public-private executive agency outside of the city hall. The activities of The Hague & Partners cover all the top priorities that we as a city council have listed in our economic vision: better branding and more visitors, conferences and new businesses. The partnership will thus contribute to protecting and creating jobs for the present generation and for those to come.”
