“Flevoland the eastwing of greater Amsterdam”

General information

One of the very few man-made regions in the world. We now live and work on what, just a few decades ago, used to be the bottom of the sea. After reclaiming the land, Flevoland has become one of the fastest expanding economies in The Netherlands. Here there is space for growth and development. Also Flevoland already houses a number of world-class R&D facilities, a network of organizations for support and advice and has superb infrastructural connections by road, rail and air.

Key Industries / regional strengths

We have created Clusters of Excellence by joining companies and knowledge centers with similar activities. We offer a number of dedicated locations for these clusters, so they can network, exchange direct trade contacts, knowledge and experience. Our key industries are: agribusiness, composites, geomatics/sensor technology, IT, medical technology/life science, renewable energy (bio-mass- and wind), water management.

Foreign companies

Giant, Yakult, Mitsubishi-Caterpillar Forklift Europe, LG Electronics, Norba, Valspar, Senco, IBM, McCain Foods, Intersnack, Cablescan, Cascade.

Accessibility

Only 45 minutes from Schiphol-Airport, easily accessible by road, rail, air and water to the rest of The Netherlands and Europe.

Special Attention

The regional economic growth is higher than in the rest of the country*. Employment shows a rapid increase as well. Finally the real-estate costs are one of the lowest in The Netherlands. We also have an unique Geomatics /Sensor Technology industry, a Brandboxx for the Fashion Industry and a WTC Almere Area with it’s International Services Center.
