Every day I help entrepreneurs who want to do business abroad

Every day I help entrepreneurs who want to explore their business opportunities abroad. Through our extensive network I can bring them into contact with hundreds of useful contacts abroad: companies, research institutes, you name it! That way I can quickly point them in the right direction to the right party who can help them along the way. When supporting, we always keep our mission in mind: working towards a smarter, more sustainable and healthier Limburg.

My colleagues and I
help you with:

Advice on exports, laws and regulations, and cross-border business opportunities.
Access to our extensive network in and outside Limburg, for example through trade missions.
Funding opportunities for sustainable, international solutions.

Two teams

for your international ambitions

We help businesses in Limburg to branch out into international markets. In addition, we attract international companies to our region and do our best to ensure they stay here for the long term. We have two teams that are happy to help you:

The International Trade Development (ITD) team, especially for entrepreneurs from Limburg who want to do business abroad.
The Foreign Investment Development (FID) team, aimed at entrepreneurs from abroad who are considering establishing themselves in Limburg. For these entrepreneurs, we have a special English-language website: businessinlimburg.com.
