The Netherlands is the gateway to Europe
The Netherlands is uniquely located for access to markets in Europe and beyond. Connected to the rest of the world by first-class seaports (Rotterdam is the largest seaport in Europe), and major airports, Holland is the gateway to Europe, with over 170 million consumers within a 500km radius.
The Netherlands is built for business
With over 50% of its GDP derived from international activities, the Netherlands has a global perspective that few nations can rival. It consistently ranks among the top countries to do business in, offering a winning combination of innovative thinking, business-oriented politics, a sound and sensible fiscal climate and a multi-lingual, motivated workforce.
The Netherlands is connected to the world
Home to one of the world's largest internet exchange points (the Amsterdam Internet Exchange) and a state-of-the-art, 100% digital, advanced fiber-optic network, the Netherlands is optimized for the digital future. But the country also boasts an extensive modern highway system, high-speed rail networks and accessible waterways that physically connect it to all other countries in Europe.
The Netherlands is business-friendly
The Netherlands offers practical and clear tax solutions, especially the treatment of VAT, geared for international business, as well as establishing an overall attractive fiscal climate, particularly for multinational corporations. Agreements are already in place to ensure the avoidance of double taxation, and to regulate withholding taxes between Taiwan and the Netherlands.
For foreign companies wishing to establish their business in the Netherlands and to take advantage of the Dutch business environment as a strategic base to cover Europe, the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) is the first port of call.
The NFIA was established for the specific purpose of helping and advising such companies by providing them with advice, information and practical assistance, quickly and on a confidential basis, as well as providing them access to a broad network of business partners and government institutions, all free of charge.
Founded in 1978, the NFIA is an operational unit of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. Throughout the years it has supported thousands of companies from all over the world to successfully establish their business in the Netherlands.
