18 European HQs moved to Amsterdam

Tuesday 23 February 2010

A total 105 foreign companies located operations in or near Amsterdam last year and 18 established their European HQs in the capital, according to city council figures.

The 105 companies generated 1,255 new jobs, over 500 more than 2008's new arrivals created.

The council says 1,900 international firms have operations in or near Amsterdam, accounting for 17% of the city's jobs.

Of the new companies, 37 came from Asia, 33 from North America and 35 from elsewhere in Europe.

Well, under these circumstances, more high quality and low price housing is needed as well! This is a very important issue for anyone who needs to stay in or around the city.
