Accelerating innovation and economic growth

BOM uses internationalisation as a driver of innovation and economic growth. We focus on two tracks: helping Brabant-based companies succeed abroad, and attracting foreign businesses that contribute to innovation, R&D and high-tech production in the region.

Our approach? Always tailored. And always aimed at strengthening Brabant’s economy in a sustainable way. We turn global developments and challenges into strategic opportunities for entrepreneurs. In doing so, we work closely with partners like Trade & Innovate NL, Invest in Holland and the Dutch government’s international network.

What we do

  • Supporting internationally ambitious companies
    Want to grow internationally but unsure where to start? We share deep insights into regions and sectors, open up our network and connect you with the right partners. Step by step, we guide you into new markets.
  • Building long-term partnerships with international regions
    We develop lasting relationships with ecosystems that match Brabant’s strengths. Through missions, matchmaking and events, we create strategic collaborations and open doors to new markets.
  • Positioning Brabant as a prime location for business
    We invite innovative companies to establish themselves in Brabant. Businesses that bring unique expertise in key technologies, sustainable energy, health and nutrition. Together, we showcase Brabant as a leading region for innovation.
Brabant is a breeding ground for innovation. Collaborating with international companies is key to strengthening our global competitiveness and driving sustainable economic growth.
