New Dutch Waterline Network of entrepreneurs

Development right along the line
The organisation ”Entreprendre sur toute la ligne” (Development right along the line) (Stichting Liniebreed ondernemen, SLO) aims to contribute to the preservation and promotion of the line of defence according to the basic principle that only profitable and sustainable regeneration and a contemporary and varied redevelopment can guarantee the transmission of this heritage to future generations. On this basis, it supports public and private owners and operators of the New Dutch Waterline forts through marketing and promotional campaigns and events, sharing of experiences, fund-raising and even by offering group buying initiatives.

Concrete achievements at the service of fort occupants
For example the organisation has negotiated an advantageous energy tariff for all operators. It advises and supports entrepreneurs who require it in finding sponsorship for commercial projects. It organises themed conferences for its members on subjects such as brand creation for entrepreneurs working on the line of defence or the use of renewable energies. Through the luxury annual magazine “Fort!”, the organisation informs the public of new offers to be discovered in forts along the New Dutch Waterline. It also includes a calendar of events.
This publication is distributed on the site and in tourist offices, restaurants, hotels and nearby libraries.
