Horizon is a member of the Invest in Holland network. This network is a collaboration of the various Regional Development Agencies, the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) and various large cities.

Horizon helps and advises foreign companies on the establishment and/or expansion of their international activities in Flevoland by providing detailed personalised information and arranging introductions to relevant local or national parties and networks. These services are part of its Investor Development programme and free of charge, without any obligation, and strictly confidential.

Investor Development

The Invest in Holland-network has developed an Investor Development programme for existing investors. It offers support in various areas such as tax issues, real estate and logistics, but also in accessing its network and the collaboration with knowledge institutions.

We think it is particularly important to hear what international entrepreneurs think of the Dutch business climate and whether they come up against any specific issues that we could assist them with, now or in the future. This may concern themes such as the availability of staff, the accessibility of your company, industry data, and permits. Our services are always free of charge and confidential.
