The science, industry and data centres sectors in the Netherlands are key in driving the country's economic success. We support clients across these sectors, helping them advance their businesses while meeting commitments and regulations.
The Netherlands: strategically located for digital growth
Strategically positioned along the Frankfurt–London–Amsterdam–Paris corridor, the Netherlands is a vital gateway for digital infrastructure in Europe. It hosts a dense network of highly performing data centres that support AI, mobile connectivity, and emerging technologies—forming the backbone of our increasingly interconnected world.
Beyond digital infrastructure, the Netherlands is home to world-class research institutions and leads in biomedical innovation for both human and animal health. It also ranks among global leaders in food production, logistics, and advanced manufacturing—making it a powerhouse of scientific and industrial progress.
