Foreword by the Management Board

From ambition to execution in a changing global landscape.

In 2025, amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and structural shifts in global trade and investment, Invest International delivered solid performance and continued portfolio growth. Our results reflect a strengthening role in facilitating international investments that support sustainable growth, enhance economic resilience and reinforce the long‑term earning capacity of the Dutch economy.

Exceeding 100 new private‑sector transactions for the first time underscores our role as a catalyst for public‑private investment. Together with our partners, we improved access to finance for exports and international investments, helping Dutch SMEs navigate an increasingly complex global environment.

In doing so, we further consolidated Invest International’s position as a key enabler of resilience and competitiveness for the Netherlands, both at home and abroad.
