Amsterdam is a city that blends history and innovation like no other. It’s not just known for its canals and creativity—it’s a key player in Europe’s tech sector. The Netherlands has built a digital-first foundation with investments in 5G, fibre-optic networks, and secure infrastructure. Amsterdam leads the charge, recently ranked the 4th best European city for startups and home to tech giants like Adyen, Booking.com, and Uber.

Across the country, the tech industry supports over 250,000 jobs, and flexible working is part of the culture. A third of Dutch workers are on flexible contracts, and independent contractors are thriving in sectors like fintech, AI, and cloud computing.
