Limburg, your way into Europe
Our central position between Rotterdam, Antwerp, and the European hinterland makes Limburg a top logistics hotspot. The main cargo airports of Cologne, Liège, and Brussels are just a stone’s throw away. And Maastricht Aachen Airport ensures safe transport of your cargo. From the terminal in Venlo you have a direct connection to the rail network to China and foreign companies can reach Rotterdam, our national seaport, in no time through this terminal.
The European market is not about to be ignored. Its 244 million consumers make it one of the world’s largest markets.

Where knowledge makes a difference
A wide range of knowledge and research institutes turn out a well-educated population ready and willing to help you sell your products and services; this talent in the Netherlands is a huge draw for foreign companies. We call it ‘fit for the future.’
Dutch and therefore Limburg participation in life-long learning is very high. This means that the Dutch continue to develop workplace skills even after completion of formal education.
