Perseverance, innovative, daring to take risks and finding a solution for everything, that is the 'niet lullen, maar poetsen' (translation: don’t blab on, just clean - a common saying that means that you should take action, instead of just talking) mentality of Rotterdammers. This is also reflected in our labour market: Europe's largest port has been running here for hundreds of years. In addition, Rotterdam is one of the continent's leading innovative cities. Many entrepreneurs, small and large, are therefore only too happy to settle in the port city.
Work is being done all over the city. In beautiful office spaces at great heights, from coffee shops with a good cup of coffee and in inspiring co-working spaces full of other creatives and pioneers.
Are you looking for a good flexible workspace or co-working spot in Rotterdam? We are happy to help you further below.
