About the Holland Metropole

 

Holland Metropole is an alliance between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven, and the cream of Dutch real estate developers and investors. The alliance aims to develop affordable and inclusive cities and make sure they can be accessed and enjoyed by everyone, whatever their income or stage in life.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven are thriving cities in their own right. As an alliance, they form one of the most competitive regions in the world, working closely together with private partners to ensure a stable, innovative and inclusive future for all their inhabitants and creating value for all stakeholders.

Climate change, affordable development, the circular economy and sustainability are central to the Holland Metropole’s strategy for the future. At the same time, each city has its own specialism.

 

Amsterdam: finance, the creative sector, IT

Utrecht: health, IT, education

Rotterdam: port services, transport, clean-tech

The Hague: diplomacy, cyber security

Eindhoven: advanced IT, materials science

‘The range of companies and institutions now moving to the Holland Metropole is a big vote of confidence in its combined scale and complementary value propositions of the five cities. The region remains firmly near the top of the foreign investment charts.’
