Innovation Bridge Netherlands facilitates Access to the German market
Are you a Dutch company who wants to enter the German market through the Ruhr area? We support you:
- Mediation of personal contacts
- Transparency about relevant organizations for fast market access
- Network of local authorities, companies, scientific institutions, and associations
- Joint search for a strategic location
- Events and networking for Dutch and German companies
After settlement, we remain in exchange with each individual company. To this day, many of the scale-ups remain involved in our network after starting in the Ruhr area and, for example, pass on their experience to younger companies.
This speaks for the Ruhr Area
The Ruhr area offers Dutch companies in particular a number of advantages. Here is a small selection:
- When the Dutch market becomes too small for companies on a growth course, the Ruhr area is the ideal growth region.
- The Ruhr Metropolis is located in the heart of Europe and is optimally connected. The best conditions if you want to be successful with your company in other European countries.
- Not far from the Dutch border, there are many opportunities in the B2B and B2C sectors.
- For scaling Dutch companies, the Ruhr area is quickly accessible. The geographical as well as cultural proximity facilitates initial business contacts.
These companies scaled here
Optimal location factors and the large market potential have already convinced many Dutch companies to settle in the Ruhr Metropolis.
