Business Survey | Economic Security | The Clingendael Institute

Using PETs to share data for research

We would like to ask you to participate in an important survey on economic security.

In the battle for technological and geopolitical dominance, various means are deployed, from investments to exploiting dependencies and cyber attacks. The Dutch knowledge-intensive business community, for example active in AI or IT, is also a target. This threatens the future sustainability of companies and the Dutch economy.

Survey regarding support on economic security

Commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, the Clingendael Institute is currently conducting a survey to gain insight into how the Dutch business community deals with risks regarding economic security and what support needs exist. The results will help policymakers to support the business community in a more targeted way in strengthening their resilience.

We kindly request you to participate in this survey (takes max. 10 minutes). Participation is completely anonymous: the answers cannot be traced back to individuals or companies in any way. The Clingendael Institute guarantees full compliance with the applicable privacy legislation (AVG/GDPR).

The survey is both in Dutch and English.
