We connect journalists with the representatives of Rotterdam - architects, chefs, designers, and urban planners - who showcase what defines Rotterdam. But it doesn't stop there. We team up with hotels, restaurants, museums, and attractions to create a well-rounded experience, highlighting both Rotterdam’s iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Especially for freelance journalists, combining a trip to Rotterdam with other cities can be very valuable. That’s why we frequently partner with other Dutch cities to facilitate this as well as organize group press trips. Recently, we joined forces with amsterdam&partners to highlight cultural openings in 2025 and worked with NBTC | Nederlands Bureau voor Toerisme & Congressen and Almere City Marketing to showcase innovative Dutch initiatives through the New Dutch press trip. These initiatives highlight the groundbreaking efforts that strengthen the Netherlands' global reputation for innovation. 👉 The result? Compelling stories about Rotterdam in the international media!

Rotterdam, accelerating global energy transition Port of Rotterdam, one of the world's largest and most advanced ports, is accelerating energy transition, with three key projects delivering milestones in 2025 (and beyond). • Hydrogen Network: A 30+ km pipeline connecting Maasvlakte to Pernis, operational in 2025, with a capacity of 1.4 Mton/year. This €100M investment is critical for the port’s position as the hydrogen hub of Europe. • Portlantis: Opening in spring 2025, Portlantis will be a state-of-the-art visitor and education center, replacing FutureLand. This hub will offer interactive exhibits, conference spaces, and more. Designed by MVRDV architects, Portlantis features energy-efficient designs and on-site renewable energy systems. • Holland Hydrogen I: Europe's largest green hydrogen plant is under construction at Maasvlakte and will use offshore wind energy to power a 200 MW electrolyser, capable of producing approximately 60,000 kilograms of green hydrogen daily. Starting in 2025, the facility will supply green hydrogen via the HyTransPort pipeline to industries in Pernis. • Porthos: This carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiative will transport CO₂ from Rotterdam’s industrial cluster through pipelines to depleted gas fields under the North Sea. Starting in 2026, it will store 2.5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, marking a major step toward decarbonizing heavy industries. #EnergyTransition #SustainableEnergy #Hydrogen #Rotterdam 📷 Aerovista Luchtfotografie | MVRDV | Danny Cornelissen
