Perfect Location

The Netherlands is a prominent gateway to Europe, and the province of Utrecht lies at the very heart of the country. It is part of the metropolitan ‘Randstad’; a region including Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague that experiences some of the most dynamic economic activity in the European Union.

All roads lead to Utrecht

The province is a major point of convergence for the country’s road, rail and inland waterway networks. Links for freight, business and private travel are abundant and versatile. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is only 19 miles away. Rotterdam, the world's largest seaport, can be reached within 40 minutes by car or public transport, as can The Hague, the country’s center of government.


Fast, easy international travel

The city of Utrecht is the hub of the Dutch railway system and a focal point for international train travel, linked to many important European business centers by high-speed train. Schiphol International Airport, the fourth busiest in the world, is only a half hour’s drive away. Most European business destinations are within two hours’ flying time.


Major meeting point

Business meets business in Utrecht. Its central location has helped make the province a trade fair Mecca, with facilities such as the Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and the modern convention center The Flint in Amersfoort, which rank very high in the International Expo and Convention market. The Jaarbeurs alone hosts more than 15,000 events each year that draw more than 4 million visitors, the majority of them business professionals.
