The Netherlands is third largest investor in the U.S. Of all U.S. Fortune 500 companies that have a European headquarters, half are located in the Netherlands. More than half of all U.S. exports to Europe enter through the Netherlands, mainly through the Port of Rotterdam. The Netherlands is the world’s largest exporter of bulbs and flowers.
Our committee works to establish contacts and relations that facilitate the development of opportunities for businesses from both cities and their surrounding regions.
Dutch companies doing business in Baltimore and Maryland include: Aegon (one of the world’s largest insurance companies), Steinweg (multi-national marine cargo operations), Ahold (includes Giant Foods), and Wolters-Kluwer (publisher of legal and medical materials).
Biotech trip to the Netherlands
Our committee is considering organizing a trip to the Netherlands for professionals in the medical biotech fields. The trip would include visits to university research centers and Leiden’s biotech park. It will be a unique opportunity to learn about biotech developments in the Netherlands and network with other professionals in the field.
