Breda, an attractive international city connecting people

Breda is a meeting place and networking city with an international allure. It owes this to its geographic location and infrastructure, a combination which creates the possibility of  fast and efficient transport of people and goods. Since international boundaries have disappeared, the city can exploit its international potency even better. It is not a coincidence that Breda plays a leading role in logistic processes. Furthermore, Breda is a city which offers excellent living and recreational facilities, a city which brings together history and contemporary culture, a city where flamboyance sets the standard for human interaction. In short, Breda is an outstanding example of a networking city focusing strongly on quality and sustainability. Key-words: high-level distribution of knowledge and services, small-scale and medium-sized business, an agreeable, dynamic and richly varied residential and living climate in an attractive city cherishing its history and culture.

Favourable projects

Breda has four favourable projects in which N.V. BrIM Breda will have a clear role:

1. Dinalog (Dutch Institute for Advanced Logistics)
2. Via Breda – arrival HSL
3. International school
4. World Trade Center (WTC)

Ad1 Dinalog (Dutch Institute for Advanced Logistics)

With a workforce of  750,000, logistics is a very important economic sector within the Dutch labour market. To maintain its position as a nation of logistics, the Netherlands has developed an ambitious innovation programme. This programme is implemented by Dinalog, which started its activities in Breda early 2010. Part of this stimulation programme is also the realisation of a Supply Chain Campus which will offer accommodation to institutes and companies active in the monitoring of goods flows. The first user next to Dinalog is LogiXperience, a supply chain visualisation centre for training, research, demonstration and innovation. On the Campus this logistic experience centre (“Logistics Evoluon”) will play an important role in demonstration projects and exchange of knowledge.
It is essential for the Campus that, in close cooperation with various parties, N.V. BrIM Breda actively encourages investment among institutes and companies.

Ad 2 Via Breda (arrival HSL)

Via Breda is the development of the railzone in the centre of Breda and comprises a new railway station and many new office locations, among other things. The arrival of the High Speed Link (HSL) is used as an argument by companies to choose Breda for locating their business. A fast link, for example between Schiphol and Breda, is considered an important pro especially by international companies. This is what makes Breda into an increasingly important part of an international network.
Via Breda wants to grow into an eminent business location for international companies. This requires a well-focused policy of investment, in which N.V. BrIM Breda can play an ever more important role.

Ad 3 International School

The arrival of an international school in Breda is an important development. Several parties are currently working on a blueprint featuring the financial back-up, the school curriculum and the political decision-making process. An international school means an important asset for Breda as an international city. Breda has many foreign companies within its city limits. For international business such a school is often a weighing factor for establishment.
For N.V. BrIM Breda, which mainly maintains international contacts, it is important to keep close track of the development of this extra establishment factor since it is part of its encouragement of investment and marketing programme.

Ad 4 World Trade Center (WTC)

Breda aims to realise a branch of the World Trade Center, which gives a tremendous boost to Breda’s ambition to further develop as an international city. It stimulates international trade and offers a meeting place for international business. The railway zone is the most ideal location. Target groups are West-Brabant companies with an urge to expand, foreign companies and companies going Benelux, ambitious re-starters and non-profit organisations fitting in with the WTC goals.
N.V. BrIM Breda will be playing a role in encouraging market parties to invest in the WTC.
