September 10th we hosted a webinar: ‘Doing business in the Netherlands’.

As economic ties between India and the Netherlands continue to strengthen, more Indian companies are choosing the Netherlands as their gateway to the European market. With the EU–India Free Trade Agreement expected to further strengthen these ties, understanding the Dutch legal, tax and immigration framework is becoming increasingly important.

Whether you are planning your first presence in the Netherlands, expanding your existing operations, or supporting clients with cross-border activities, this webinar will provide practical insights into the key considerations.

HEUSSEN Lawyers & Civil Law Notaries and Crowe Netherlands – Accountants & Advisors are pleased to invite you to our webinar, featuring a contribution from the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA).

During this webinar, experts from HEUSSEN and Crowe Netherlands will discuss the legal, tax and immigration aspects that Indian companies should consider when establishing or expanding their business in the Netherlands. The Director of NFIA India will explain how NFIA supports foreign companies during their expansion and connects them with the Dutch business and knowledge ecosystem.

You will learn more about:

  • Support available from NFIA to foreign companies establishing or expanding in the Netherlands
  • Connecting with relevant ecosystem partners, networks and universities
  • Key sectors relevant to the Dutch market
  • Establishing business operations in the Netherlands
  • Tax considerations for international businesses and employees
  • Immigration and work permit requirements for international talent
  • Using the Netherlands as a gateway to the European market

This webinar is intended for business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals involved in international expansion.
