What is Urban Sensing Lab
In a world where technology is rapidly transforming our urban landscapes, it is essential to recognise and celebrate the individuals who are at the forefront of this digital revolution.

It is organised based on the GovTech NL Hub.

By bringing together diverse stakeholders and driving collaboration, GovTech NL is poised to make a significant and lasting impact on the relationship between governments and the public, ultimately creating a more transparent, inclusive, and citizen-centric governance model.

The GovTech NL Hub is organized by The Hague Tech and WorldStartup with support from the Gemeente Den Haag, Provincie Zuid-Holland, YES!Delft, PLNT Leiden, Digicampus, Isuna, Antea Group Nederland, Centric, The Impacters and others.
