Nijmegen has a great startup climate with many accelerators, incubators and investors located in the city and on campus. And even though Nijmegen is only one hour away from big cities such as Utrecht and Amsterdam, it doesn’t have any traffic jams and office space is readily available at reasonable prices. Another big plus is that Nijmegen is very close to Germany, where even more business opportunities await than in The Netherlands! So, if you’re not already thinking about moving your business to or starting a business in Nijmegen… think again! 😊
