The Rotterdam Investment Agency provides both new and existing companies in Rotterdam and their employees with all the advice and support they could possibly wish for, both now and in the future.

All our services are free of charge and confidential.

Our expertise at your disposal
All our expertise is at your disposal – everything from an understanding of local and Dutch business markets to in-depth information on the laws and regulations you will need to understand. We can help you find suitable office space, industrial space, warehouses or any other facilities for your company. Helping you sort out the paperwork involved in setting up their operations in Rotterdam is a greatly appreciated service.

Introduction to professionals in key areas
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. We will put you in touch with landlords, real-estate agents and property developers who can provide the facilities you are looking for. If necessary, we will even assist you in your negotiations with realtors, landlords or developers. We can also put you in touch with staffing-recruitment agencies, tax consultants and other business-to-business service providers.

Fact finding trips
The Rotterdam Investment Agency will give strong support by, first of all, organizing fact-finding trips to Rotterdam. The candidates will receive further help and information, including introductions to business-to-business services that assist newcomers in getting settled, such as real-estate agencies, law firms, tax consultants, etc. In a typical show of community spirit, existing local businesses have volunteered to show prospective companies around and give an honest account of what it is like to do business in Rotterdam.

Red carpet treatment
Once companies have decided that Rotterdam is the place where they are going to put down roots, they will receive our red-carpet treatment. Each company coming to Rotterdam will be regarded as a key account whose wishes and requirements will be catered to by a key account manager from the Rotterdam Investment Agency. Our staff will gladly introduce you to business contacts and networks in order for your company to thrive and grow in Rotterdam. Equally noteworthy is that Rotterdam companies will sit down at the table with new companies on a regular basis and help them to find their bearings in a new environment and make them feel at home.

Helping expats to settle in
Rotterdam also runs the Expat Desk, an integrated part of the Rotterdam Investment Agency. Among other activities, the Expat Desk helps employees working for foreign companies to settle down in the Netherlands and solve any practical issues they may have. 

Personal contact person
We will gladly assist you by giving you a personal contact person. This key account manager will have knowledge of your culture and market and will be fast and decisive in looking after your interests, company and personnel. If you have any questions, please contact us.
