Let's make the Netherlands bigger

In 2023 and in 2025, 10 South Limburg municipalities concluded two Regio Deals with the state as part of the program ‘Elke regio telt’. We can now invest 60 million euros in strengthening our region and creating equal opportunities for every resident of Zuid-Limburg. However, there is work to be done. For the municipalities involved and for partners. Residents, entrepreneurs, industries, social and care organisations and various authorities will therefore put their shoulders to the wheel together. Regio Deal Zuid-Limburg serves as a flywheel. We invest, maintain an overview, connect, stimulate, identify and provide solutions where necessary.

Three programme ­lines

We are investing the 60 million euros in 3 programme lines and several projects. Each programme line has specific objectives. But all focus on (circular) economic growth, strengthening nature and liveability and achieving prosperity for all.

Strong and healthy communities

This programme line works towards good and positive health for all. Here, mental health is as important as physical health. Among other things, we invest in better housing, contacts between local residents, greenery in neighbourhoods, exercise, well-being and safety. Neighbourhoods must become more resilient and residents must take control.

Border-crossing, innovative & circular knowledge economy

Internationalising the labour market and working with sustainable energy and recycled raw materials are the guiding principles of this programme line. Society, from citizens to farmers and industry, is challenged to change its behaviour. We need to produce differently and think about how and what we consume and how we retain and attract talents to our region.

Enhancing unique landscape

We are committed to reducing nitrogen, nitrate and CO2 emissions. We want to improve water quality, biodiversity of nature and people's health. And we want to reduce water nuisance, pollution and heat stress as much as possible. Moreover, we want to reduce the pressure by tourism. We act to preserve our unique landscape. And to greatly improve the viability of villages.
