Agriculture is an important employer, although industrial areas are found near the cities. The quietness of the province is also attracting a growing number of tourists.

Drenthe is known as the "Cycling Province" of the Netherlands and is an exceptional place for a cycling holiday, having hundreds of kilometers of cycle paths through forest, heath and along canals and many towns and villages offering refreshment along the way. Drenthe exports through the entire [[Netherlands]] and also receives supplies and goods from Germany, making it a good business district. Many Dutch and German [[multinational corporation|multinational]] companies are settled in Drenthe.

The Gross domestic product (GDP) of the province was 15.1&nbsp;billion € in 2018, accounting for 1.9% of the Netherlands economic output.
