Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency

For foreign companies wishing to establish their business in the Netherlands and to take advantage of the Dutch business environment as a strategic base to cover Europe, the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) is the first port of call. The NFIA was established for the specific purpose of helping and advising such companies by providing them with advice, information and practical assistance, quickly and on a confidential basis, as well as providing them access to a broad network of business partners and government institutions, all free of charge. Founded 30 years ago, the NFIA is an operational unit of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. Throughout the years it has supported thousands of companies from all over the world to successfully establish their business in the Netherlands.

NFIA support starts in the country of origin. To that end, the NFIA has offices in Europe (HQ in The Hague, London, Istanbul), the US (New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, San Mateo), Asia (Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Seoul, New Delhi, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur) and in the Gulf Region (Dubai). In addition, the NFIA closely cooperates with Dutch embassies, consulates-general and other organizations that represent the Dutch government around the world.

In all, more than 7,000 foreign companies have established operations in the Netherlands. Among the many prominent international companies that have taken advantage of NFIA's services as they located their operations in the Netherlands, are US companies like Starbucks Coffee, Boeing, Eastman Chemical, Medtronic, Cisco Systems, Abbott Laboratories, Reebok and NCR Corporation. They also include European companies such as EMI, BOC Group, Bosch and Danone. Additionally, NFIA assisted a large number of companies from Asia and the Middle East, such as Teijin, Hitachi, Yakult, Giant, BenQ, Samsung, Daewoo, LG Electronics, Huawei, Sony Corporation, Saudi Aramco and SABIC.
