\nThe municipality of Den Helder is proud of this recognition. It shows that the city and the region are fully committed
\nare moving. Many companies are working on new solutions for sustainable energy, such as
\nhydrogen and offshore wind. The coastal location plays a major role in this. The seaport, airport and
\nKnowledge ports (including METIP) together form a strong foundation for innovation. In these three ports
\nCompanies, knowledge institutions and government work daily on new energy solutions.
\nPort of Den Helder and Den Helder Airport play an important role in this as a connecting link
\nbetween entrepreneurs, maritime companies and the energy transition in the North Sea.<\/p>\n

\nA good example of this collaboration is the structural support of companies in
\ndeveloping hydrogen solutions. This is done, among other things, through the Hydrogen North program
\nHolland Noord, which focuses on building complete hydrogen chains \u2013 from production and storage
\nto distribution and use. These initiatives are partly the result of the Regional Deal Maritime Cluster Kop van
\nNorth Holland, in which the municipality, province, national government and companies work together to strengthen the region in
\nthe field of maritime and energy innovation.
\n\u201cWe are extremely proud of this number 1 position,\u201d said Port Councillor Fotigui Camara. \u201cIn Den
\nWe work together every day with fellow authorities, companies and knowledge partners on smart solutions
\nClean energy solutions. If we want to be at the top in 2040, we must continue
\ninvesting in our ports, in innovative companies and in well-trained technical talent. Only together
\ncan we really make the energy transition a reality?\u201d<\/p>\n
