The Netherlands and the Nordic countries are known for their innovative economies. They often collaborate in research and development, particularly in fields such as information technology, biotechnology, clean technologies.
This partnership is supported by a strong emphasis on education and research institutions in both regions. In addition, the strategic location of the Netherlands as a gateway to Europe complements the advanced logistics and infrastructure capabilities of the Nordic countries.
This synergy facilitates efficient supply chain operations and enhances trade connectivity. Other strong economic sectors in both the Nordic countries and the Netherlands are shipping, fishing and aquaculture, oil and gas and offshore wind.
Complex rules that apply in an international tax landscape however may make business development challenging. In close collaboration with our local KPMG offices, we help you navigating this landscape.
