Building Bridges in Washington 🇳🇱🇺🇸

NL Expo//LA28 took part in a delegation that visited the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Washington D.C. to kick-off the 2028 Games project, followed by a strategic luncheon at the Meridian International Center—a leading institution dedicated to advancing diplomacy, global leadership, and cross-sector collaboration.

Discussions centered around the unifying power of sports and how it can serve as a catalyst for cultural exchange and innovation. Dutch perspectives on upcoming global events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games provided valuable insights into how sport, technology, and creativity can strengthen international partnerships.

Core message: What unites us is greater than what divides us.

This dialogue underscored the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing to create sustainable impact. The NL Expo//LA28 embodies this commitment—building a long-term innovation and talent bridge between the Netherlands and the U.S. West Coast.
