Several Dutch companies entered into contracts worth millions of euros with businesses in Qatar on November 24 at a meeting attended by the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Henk Kamp.
“Half of all solar panels produced worldwide contain Dutch technology. We are a leader in this sector,” Minister Kamp said. “Thanks to these contracts, even more solar panels with Dutch technology will be produced here in only a few months’ time.”
Dutch company Eurotron will build a high-tech production line for a Qatari manufacturer of solar panels in the coming months. The Dutch technology can produce a new type of solar panels that is more efficient than the current generation.
