Central Innovation District

The Central Innovation District (CID) lies at the core of the International City of Peace and Justice. Strategically located around The Hague’s three intercity stations, the CID is where government, business, and knowledge institutions converge to address global challenges: from digital security and climate change to the protection of democracy and human rights. The CID is a district that fosters dialogue, where ethical and societal questions are explored alongside innovation. How can technology safeguard civil liberties and improve quality of life? How do we create climate-resilient cities and regions? What does human-centered innovation really look like? The unique mix of stakeholders in the CID forms the foundation for groundbreaking solutions in policy and law, digital security, and human centered technology. It’s where innovation meets impact for a better, safer and more just world.
