The Hague

The Hague, located on the western coast of the Netherlands, is a city that seamlessly blends historical significance with modern innovation. Established in the 13th century, it serves as the administrative and royal center of the Netherlands, housing both the Dutch government and international judicial institutions like the International Court of Justice. The city’s iconic Binnenhof complex, overlooking the Hofvijver lake, is a testament to its rich political heritage. Beyond its historical roots, The Hague is embracing technology to enhance the life of its citizens and is leading on SocialTech, GovTech and LegalTech. This dynamic combination of tradition and forward-thinking initiatives underscores The Hague’s role as both a historical capital and a modern hub of innovation.
