A new study by DutchCulture, commissioned by the City of Amsterdam, reveals that international cultural cooperation not only delivers artistic and societal value, but also contributes substantially to the Dutch economy. The annual added value can be as much as 10.6 billion euros, which is several times the amount invested. The study thereby demonstrates that investing in international cultural cooperation isn’t just the right thing to do, but certainly a smart thing to do as well.
