NFIA: Helping You Access Business Solutions in the Netherlands

The Netherlands is positioned, both geographically as well as strategically, as the gateway to Europe. The Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) is an operational unit of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands, set up to actively promote foreign investments into the Netherlands. The NFIA has offices in Europe (The Hague [HQ], UK: London), the US (New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, San Mateo), Asia (Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Seoul, New Delhi, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur) and in the Gulf Region (Dubai).

NFIA India is located at the Embassy of the Netherlands in New Delhi. It assists Indian companies in finding the most suitable location for their European operations and, if that location is in the Netherlands, helps set up the operation in a smooth, timely and cost-effective manner. Whether you are setting up a marketing office, a European headquarter, a logistics centre, a manufacturing or R&D facility, NFIA India guides you through the process, helping you plan, strategise, network and close deals through services that are confidential as well as free of cost.

Thousands of international companies have chosen the Netherlands for investment or expansion. These include such leading Indian corporations as TCS, Tata Steel, Infosys, Wipro, Suzlon, Dishman, Moser Baer and NIIT.

With a business-friendly regulatory framework, an internationally oriented favourable tax system, a welcoming English-speaking environment, and a government that values entrepreneurship highly and facilitates international business, the Netherlands is a destination of choice for corporations from across the world.
