Connect with Europe and the world

The Netherlands is a strategic choice geographically. We are a gateway to Europe; ideally situated to provide fast access to your partners, suppliers and customers. 95% of Europe’s most lucrative markets are just a 24-hour drive away from Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Major economies such as Germany, France and the U.K. are within a few hours reach.

Key to the Netherlands’ infrastructure are leading transport hubs including the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port, and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, both offering vast international connections. Add to that our extensive rail and waterway network, and companies have excellent logistics and distribution capabilities. Beyond physical infrastructure, the Netherlands business environment is also anchored by a robust digital infrastructure. For companies that expand in the Netherlands, the Dutch digital infrastructure paves the way to opportunity, collaboration and success.
