together, fast and smart
Working together and thinking in terms of solutions is typical of Tilburg. The municipality therefore pursues a market-oriented labour market policy with a focus on knowledge-intensive innovation, on crossovers and connections between knowledge institutions and companies. As a result, innovative initiatives such as the Starters' Fair are quickly getting off the ground. Other stimulation projects are the Maatjesproject, Reshoring and the Stimuleringsfonds.

Delta Plan Technology
More young people who opt for technology, that is the goal of the Delta Plan. With the Delta Plan, 'frontrunners' from education and business, Midpoint and municipalities are now joining forces to achieve this objective. Currently, 15 companies are connected, but they are already working with it much more through various actions. There are many vacancies in the technical sector in Midden-Brabant, now and in the future. The so-called manufacturing industry has always been a very important sector here. But technical work is everywhere.
