Defence

One of the core tasks of the NIDV is to engage the Dutch business community in orders obtained from the armed forces. The NIDV was established by the Ministries of Defence and Economic Affairs. This makes the NIDV unique in that it is the only sector organisation of Dutch companies that delivers products and services related to national and international security. All participants can take advantage of the NIDV’s extensive network and specialist knowledge.

 

 

 

 

Security

Equipment and services for the National Police Corps and Royal Netherlands Military Police, the fire brigade and other emergency services are supplied by participating NIDV companies specialising in all product groups, from uniforms to vehicles and ships, and from walkie-talkies to incident rooms and cyber security.

International

Conducting business internationally requires specialist knowledge of the market. The NIDV gets its participants on the right track with meetings, courses and export knowledge. The NIDV works both nationally and internationally on increasing the visibility of participants through joint market research and a joint market approach. As part of this, it supports and facilitates its participants in participating in trade missions and international trade fairs.
