‘70,000 troops cannot protect all 18 million Dutch citizens. Besides ensuring military readiness, society itself must also become more resilient.’

The meeting was organised by the Dutch Transformation Forum and the KPMG Council and was attended by 45 decision-makers from the business community, government, research institutes, and NGOs. The theme was security, with a focus on the whole-of-society approach: the collective ability of society to withstand an armed conflict.
