Abstract Industrial policy in the Netherlands is a contested issue, after it failed spectacularly a few times in the 1980s. Since, successive cabinets prefer macro (general) instruments instead of specific policies for firms of sectors (see the preliminary remarks below). In 2011, the present policy was developed, aiming at innovation of nine selected sectors. We present two examples, first the chemical sector and second the policy to increase the number of employees with a technical education.
