Rotterdam Brainpark

The Rotterdam Brainpark Centre is one of the city's most prestigious business addresses, on Rotterdam's foremost business park. Locally-based businesses include both multinationals and smaller specialist service sector businesses, mainly in financial services, consultancy and shipping-related services, reflecting the importance of Rotterdam's international deep-water sea and river port, which is the gateway to European markets for a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. Erasmus University is a short distance away, offering both excellent business opportunities and a ready supply of highly educated workers, especially in management, economics and law. Excellent local infrastructure includes extensive shopping areas and fast arterial roads to other Netherlands cities, major sporting venues including the home of Feyenoord and Excelsior football clubs, and Ahoy, an arena for large-scale events including conferences, exhibitions and shows.
