The Netherlands said on Thursday it is signing 10 MoUs at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit starting on Friday with focus on sectors like smart city and waste management, healthcare and agricultural cooperation.

The European country is being represented by a delegation, which has more than 100 members, at the three-day business conclave being held at Gandhinagar.

The delegation, led by Netherlands’ Minister of Finance for Taxation and Customs, Menno Snel, consists of representatives from 45 companies, three trade associations and government agencies.

“We met Chief Minister  (Vijay) Rupani...We have 45 companies, out of which 10 are signing MoUs. Our delegations have been growing.

Lots of MoUs are on strategic cooperation,” Snel told reporters here Thursday.

Out of 10 MoUs, five were signed Thursday and the rest will be inked during the summit, he said.

The MoUs deal with mobility management, waste-to- energy conversion, delivery system in diagnostics, saline farming, and protected cultivation of horticultural crops.

A Dutch company, Pal-V, which makes flying cars, is also participating in the summit.

Pal-V plans to deliver its first vehicles, which will have seating capacity for two persons, to customers in Europe by 2019 or early 2020.
