General information and pavilion

The Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS37) takes place in Seoul from April 23 to 26, 2024. EVS is the world’s largest symposium with a trade exhibition on electric transport. Get informed about the latest technological developments and get inspired by the future plans for zero emission mobility. 

More information about EVS37 can be found here. Would you like to visit the symposium and the trade show? There are different types of tickets for sale. Please visit the EVS website for more information and sales.

Dutch pavilion
The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) took the initiative – together with various partners – to organize a Dutch pavilion. These parties are: the Ministries of Infrastructure and Water Management and Foreign Affairs and the Dutch embassy in Seoul.

The Director General of Mobility of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, Kees van der Burg, is traveling along as mission leader.

Entire value chain
The national pavilion showcases the Dutch approach to zero emission transport. It includes the entire value chain, such as means of transport, energy (transition), infrastructure and mobility services. A number of Dutch companies, knowledge institutions, governments and administrators from the initiating organizations are represented at the pavilion.

This makes the pavilion the meeting place for companies, with fresh coffee for all! You can easily make contact with potential business and knowledge partners who are active in this promising, global growth market. At the pavilion you can also hold networking meetings with your business contacts.

E-mobility in The Netherlands

The Netherlands accelerates zero emission mobility through its innovative and groundbreaking activities. To achieve zero emission mobility, we work together with a wide and diverse array of partners, locally and worldwide. We consider clean, safe and comfortable mobility as a globally shared ambition. Within this context, we actively bring the brightest minds together to drive the industry forward. We want to inspire people to partner with us and in our joined efforts, we create out-of-the box solutions for current and future mobility challenges.  

Zero emission can only be achieved through a holistic, integrated and coherent approach. This is at the heart of Dutch policies and our public private collaboration approach. We put our zero emission glasses on and look around and forward. What do we need to research to achieve zero emission mobility? What do we need to change, to transform, to restructure, to reform, and to build to achieve our goals?

Parallel to the mobility transition, we consider the energy transition which touches all aspects of life, mobility, industry and business. In our journey, we challenge and support governments and private companies, incumbents and startups, infrastructure, climate and social organizations, think tanks, scientists, students, big and small players in the industry, and last but not least, consumers to contribute to a more sustainable future.

The Netherlands has the knowledge, experience and innovative spirit to continue leading the way and take a (giant) leap forward to accelerate zero emission mobility together.

At the Netherlands pavilion, we show our efforts towards zero emission mobility. Feel free to visit us!
