Announcing Soft Landing: a programme for space related businesses that want to relocate to the Netherlands.

Why such a programme?

We’ve noticed an increasing interest in Dutch incubation programme of the European Space Agency – ESA BIC Noordwijk – from space related businesses that are currently not based in the Netherlands.

While our network consists of a substantial number of international entrepreneurs, they and their businesses are located in the Netherlands – mandatory to participate in the local incubation programme.

Next to that, we’ve also noticed a lot of space businesses that want to be in the Netherlands for other reasons: for our culture, to get access to the local network, to be close to ESA’s R&D centre ESTEC. Or they want to have an expansion here to act as a gateway to Europe.

Smooth transition

Whatever your reason, we want to help you have a smooth transition. That’s why we created the Soft Landing programme, to help entrepreneurs relocate their business to the Netherlands, in 6 months.

In this programme, we help with your first steps towards relocating to the Netherlands, introduce you and help you with the Dutch tax and legal system, offer custom business support and coaching, provide you with options for office space, give you access to our network and, if necessary, help with your visa application. 

That’s just the short summary. Like to know more about our relocation programme for businesses that have (or intend to have) a space focus? Then, have a look at Soft Landing.
