Former Schiphol CEO: 'This transition period requires many more state-owned companies'
- State-owned companies are commercially managed companies with a public task where the government has control.
- According to Hans Smits, they contribute 12% to 15% of the global gross national product.
- If things go wrong, it is due to coordination within the triangle of shareholder (Ministry of Finance), policy department and management.
Especially in this time of great social change, state-owned companies can play a key role, thinks former Schiphol CEO Hans Smits. For example, public-private organisations could build wind farms, nuclear power plants or create a national healthcare platform.
