Why Utrecht

The province of Utrecht has a lot to offer new businesses and their employees. A survey by the Cologne Forschungsinstitut, comparing the overall quality of life, current conditions and economic potential of 214 European cities and regions, ranked Utrecht at #2. These are just a few of the important advantages that make our province so attractive.

The 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 ‘Randstad’ region; a huge delta metropolis that includes Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. The Randstad experiences a dynamic level of economic activity that easily competes with other major metropolitan regions in Europe and elsewhere.

The facilities and people you need

Utrecht is extremely strong in two areas that play an important role in business success – an outstanding infrastructure of sensibly priced business locations and facilities, and a highly educated multilingual work force. Combine this with a strong, thriving regional economy, and the potential it offers is enormous.

Living the good life

Very few people live to work. Most work to live, and want to do so as enjoyably as possible. One of the best things about our province is that it offers residents the best of many worlds – beautiful nature, a relaxed lifestyle, and easy proximity to culture, entertainment and dynamic city life. There is also access to extensive housing, international schools and thriving expatriate communities that help make settling in that much easier.
