## Resource

The Netherlands is pivoting big time—shifting from limiting foreign talent to aggressively recruiting top global experts in AI, defense, energy, and biotech. With an aging population and labor shortages, the government’s new strategy aims to fuel 1.5% annual growth by boosting high-skill sectors while reducing reliance on lower-paid immigrant workers in logistics and food processing. Backed by business titans like ASML’s ex-CEO and ECB’s former president, the plan includes reviving international student recruitment, preserving the 30% expat tax break, and even eyeing a skilled trades program modeled after Germany’s. Full details are expected by parliament by end of 2026. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
