Profile of the region

In SADC’s field of operation - with the creative top-class city of Amsterdam as its exciting hub – connectivity is the key word. The conditions for travel & trade – via air, water, road, rail and fibreglass – are top notch. A location in the heart of Europe (gateway), the high quality and excellent services of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the qualities of the Port of Amsterdam and the advanced logistics available – for goods, data, people – create outstanding conditions for companies in all manner of sectors.
 

The international ‘buzz’ of the region can be felt everywhere, 24/7. Around 50 million passengers pass through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol annually (it is Europe’s 4th passenger airport) and almost 2 million tonnes of cargo are handled there (Europe’s 3rd cargo airport) each year. The Amsterdam Internet Exchange is the world’s largest hub in terms of data traffic and membership.
  

Each focus location in SADC’s field of operations has its own specific USPs and connections with the world, the region and the city of Amsterdam. By developing these USPs optimally according to its cluster strategy, SADC is able to offer prime conditions to enterprises engaged in fashion, perishables, bulk goods storage/transhipment, data and knowledge.
