Tomorrow's Resilience | Episode 1 | National Resilience

Gain fresh perspectives on national resilience, strategic autonomy and the factors shaping a resilient and competitive economy.

Geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, cyber threats and societal challenges are testing the resilience of nations, institutions and organizations alike. How can countries strengthen their ability to anticipate, withstand and recover from disruption? And what role can businesses play in building a more resilient society?

In the first episode of EY’s Tomorrow's Resilience webcast series, we explore the growing importance of National Resilience in an increasingly volatile world. Bouke Evers, acting as host, will explore together with Patrick Boertien the key insights from the Netherlands Attractiveness Survey 2026.

During this webcast, Jeroen Kremers, initiator of the National Investment Institution (NII), and Patrick Boertien, Partner at EY, will explore the role of investment, economic security and strategic autonomy in building a more resilient economy, as well as the future role of the NII in supporting this. Jeroen is a senior economist and financial-sector leader with extensive experience across government, banking and international financial institutions, including the Dutch Ministry of Finance, the IMF and ABN AMRO.

The session will offer practical insights for leaders navigating an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
