We are working towards a competitive, climate-neutral, and circular industry in the Scheldt Delta region by 2050. This is being achieved through innovative workshops, task forces and advisory groups focused on CO2 reduction, circularity, infrastructure development, and sustainable energy.

Because such an ambitious goal requires intensive collaboration, various parties joined forces: businesses, the port, knowledge institutions, government agencies, and grid operators. The result: Smart Delta Resources.  

Our strength lies in this cooperation. Because our goal is to help and strengthen each other. To make efficient and shared use of our raw materials and energy resources in the Scheldt Delta region. And thus to have a positive impact on people, nature, the environment, and the economy.  

Smart Delta Resources consists of a Dutch organisation (SDR NL) and a Belgian organisation (SDR FL or Flanders), both of which collaborate on cross-border solutions for a future-proof, sustainable industry in the Flemish-Dutch Scheldt Delta region.
