About
Amsterdam Trade & Invest is presented on the city's iamsterdam.com website as the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area's agency for foreign investment, trade and internationalisation. Its work splits in two. The invest side is aimed at companies and investors from outside the Netherlands who are weighing up the region: it explains the Dutch legal, fiscal and regulatory setting, publishes benchmark and sector reports comparing Amsterdam with other European locations, makes introductions into a network of local business partners, and arranges tailored fact finding visits covering practical matters such as premises and available talent. Named sector priorities include artificial intelligence, fintech, renewable energy, sustainable fashion and life sciences. The trade side is aimed at companies already based in the region that want to sell or operate abroad: introductions to trade partners and knowledge institutions, export programmes and acceleration tracks for smaller companies, market intelligence and partner matching, and participation in missions and trade fairs. It is a business facing service throughout.
