Schelde-Deltaregion

The Flemish-Dutch Scheldt Delta region stretches from Bergen op Zoom towards Vlissingen, Terneuzen and along the Canal Zone to Ghent.
Region of particular importance
The industries in the Scheldt Delta region are diverse and complementary. They are among the world's top innovators in the automotive, chemical, energy, food, fertilizer, logistics, offshore, refining and steel sectors. Thanks to these companies and their innovations, we can live and work comfortably, eat healthily and travel.
They supply raw materials, materials, fuels, energy and products that we need every day. Think of cement, plastics, metals, fertilizer, packaging, electricity, toothbrushes, mattresses, food, medicines, parts for smartphones, cars, building materials, and even the asphalt for our roads.
They are all valuable raw materials and products that are made and processed in our region and that increase the self-sufficiency of our countries. In addition, the products are exported, which makes the Dutch and Belgian economies future-proof and prosperous. Finally, the industry provides employment and social cohesion in the region. These are social and economic benefits that we do not want to lose.
Hence our commitment to bring together economic and climate interests. Across national borders, but also across the boundaries of sectors, processes and technologies.
Step by step, we are evolving together towards a future-proof industry.
