LIMBURG IN THE HAGUE

[BIZ/GOV: The Hague, October 15]
A major Limburg lobbying group, comprising an elite of the province's political and business leaders, traveled by high-speed train to the Hague this week to demand the attention of the national government for the province's economic future.

On the agenda was support for cutting edge projects in the life sciences, sustainable energy, chemicals/the chemelot location and cross-border cooperation. The Key to it all is the creation of a top technology region in the Southeast of the country with DSM and Philips as the spearhead now and for the future.

The burgeoning business center of Maastricht was on the program, of course, and Mayor Leers stole the show by lecturing the nation on leadership.
