Flevoland is the newest province of the Netherlands and a masterwork of modern engineering. With almost half a million residents, Flevoland offers room to grow for families and businesses. The geology of Flevoland is unique in the world and the province is known for the quality of its agricultural produce and the innovative technologies developed and perfected here in the polder.
