physical and technological infrastructure and quality of life are key<br />
contributors to the country’s success. The Netherlands is therefore<br />
an attractive location for companies seeking a <strong>Europe</strong>an base and for<br />

as a result of the economic recession<br />
are felt immediately. However, the<br />
Netherlands continues to perform<br />
well on many fronts. Rotterdam, for<br />

Netherlands has a world-class ICT<br />
infrastructure.<br />
