The Regional Platform for Economic Stimulation is the administrative consultation on the economic development of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Its members include aldermen for economics from the local authorities of Almere, Amsterdam, Haarlem, Haarlemmermeer, Hilversum and Zaanstad, the provinces of Flevoland and North Holland, the Amsterdam Municipal Region and the Chamber of Commerce for Amsterdam and the surrounding area.
Globalisation and European integration lead to vigorous changes in economic structure. The platform administrators work together to find solutions to the economic challenges which the region is facing as a result of these international developments.
The Regional Platform for Economic Stimulation focuses on the following in succession:
efficient organisation of the region's economic issues;
fulfilment of the metropolitan strategy's economic dimension;
design for reconciling economic issues with government partners.
The creation of a social-economic agenda for the metropolitan area is our main priority at the moment. Our aim is to present an action plan at the end of the year with metropolis-wide activities to strengthen the whole of the metropolitan area's economy.
