Groningen Promotion Group

Welcome to Groningen

This website is an initiative of the Groninger Promotie Overleg, or 'Groningen Promotion Group' (GPO). The GPO was set up at the end of the nineteen-eighties. Since then the group has spent three years actively promoting Groningen using various media such as TV, radio, advertisements, a website and brochures. The GPO concentrates on four sectors: education, culture, tourism and economics. The key message of the GPO is that Groningen has a great deal to offer the rest of the world in these sectors. By campaigning on economic issues the GPO sets out to improve the image of Groningen’s economy.

The GPO is a partnership between various organisations and is officially chaired by the Queen’s Commissioner. The following organisations are members of the advisory committee: the Province of Groningen, the Municipality of Groningen, Marketing Groningen, the Chamber of Commerce, Nederlandse Gasunie, Aize Bouma Communicatie Consulting, Groninger Museum, Koop Holding, Hazewinkel Pers and RTV Noord.
