Now more than ever, it is important that we live sustainably and climate-friendly, with attention to nature and biodiversity. In our region, you will find companies, governments and knowledge institutions that work together in all these areas to create a healthy society worldwide.
The Utrecht region is the place where we work together on solutions and initiatives that ensure healthy people (physically, mentally and socially) in a healthy living environment. We do this together to create the healthy society of tomorrow. Our mission as a region is to contribute as much as possible to a healthier, more sustainable world.
