LIOF is ready for enterprising Limburg
LIOF offers tailor-made solutions. Each company has its own development and related requirements. One has a new idea, the second wants to expand, the third is looking for a location, the fourth is on the verge of a management buyout, and so on.

Social impact
What we do on that front
For LIOF and the entrepreneurs we support, not only economic return is important but certainly also social impact.
That is why we have committed ourselves to various social initiatives that contribute to the transitions LIOF focuses on: energy, circularity, health and digitalization. And we make a strong case for diversity & inclusion.
