Rotterdam’s Make it Happen spirit makes it an ideal location to future-proof your maritime business
“We’re using the latest technology to make complex processes easier for the freight industry and to provide the best customer experience. In Rotterdam, we get to collaborate with experts across the maritime sector. It’s a highly innovative and open community – there are no barriers to reaching out to people to do business.”
Supporting new ideas and bringing them to market
“We always say that you can develop, test and bring to market anything you want in Rotterdam,” concludes Bas Ort. “As well as cutting edge infrastructure and digital technology, we have a sophisticated maritime services sector, covering banking, insurance, law and finance. It’s been established over decades, to support new ideas and bring them to market.”
If it works here, it works worldwide
You can see examples of this ecosystem working to drive innovation and business opportunities all over Rotterdam. Many international companies recognise Rotterdam’s role as a vital test market and the ideal gateway to the European market. Cogoport’s Europe CEO, Carmit Hoshen Glik, sums it up perfectly, “Cogoport’s a young company, full of tech savvy entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, innovators and thinkers – and we feel right at home in Rotterdam.”
