Connecting Portugal and the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a good place to do great business

Hub economy

Despite its small size, the Netherlands offers numerous advantages for ambitious business owners and starters. As the sixth-largest economy in the EU with advanced infrastructure, it holds a significant position in the European market. Major players like Microsoft, IBM, and Google have established their Headquarters and Research & Development facilities here. The Dutch workforce is multilingual, tech-savvy with an innovative nature, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. The Netherlands excels in blending technology with key industries such as smart-farming, fin-tech, maritime and water technology and renewable energies. Positioning itself as a dynamic force in the global market, ensuring the flow of goods and services across the global market.

Dutch challenges  

Despite the country’s significant benefits, such as good business climate, strategic location, innovative strengths and qualified workforce, there are a few things to consider when doing business in the Netherlands;

Straight-forwardness and directness in communication
Egalitarian culture can be perceived as disrespectful and blunt
Regulations can be difficult to understand and to comply with
Having local assistance on the ground is highly valuable
Dutch corporate culture is working hybrid and “office centric”
Remote-only is not always an option. Onsite meetings are valued
Shortage in IT skills and increasing costs due to spiraling salaries
 Negative impact on the international competitive position
Dutch companies are looking to source IT talent in Europe
Combining near-shoring with regular travels to the Dutch team

Lack of local knowledge can result in lost businesses, loss of valuable time and resources and potential financial penalties. That’s why we think it is essential to work with an experienced local partner.
