On Monday 17 February, the Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz, paid a visit to the Clingendael Institute in The Hague to discuss the future of clean industrial strategy. With a new US administration in office, federal priorities may shift, but the fifty US states have broad autonomy to pursue their own policies.

Minnesota has close business ties with the Netherlands. Nearly 7.000 Minnesotans work for one of more than a dozen Dutch companies with a footprint in this state and more than thirty Minnesotan companies operate in the Netherlands.

Although the United States is no longer part of the Paris Climate Agreement, Minnesota continues to push an ambitious climate agenda.

The Governor discussed how US states can independently shape strategic industrial policies and the opportunities this creates for Dutch companies and policymakers in an era of (geo)political change.

The event brought together journalists, business leaders, researchers, and policymakers. The Governor of Minnesota was welcomed by Rem Korteweg, Head of Clingendael's US programme and the Q&A led by Louise van Schaik, Clingendael's Head of EU & Global Affairs Unit.

I don't think it had anything to do with the ICC. There are other entities in the Hague.

What I love about Walz is that he seems like your regular guy dad teacher - but he's got a depth about him and a diverse knowledge of things that is quite complex.
