Targeted cluster analysis results in promising niches at western neighbors
It is the ambition of the German development company Hamburg Invest to approach a number of European neighboring countries more proactively. It considers the Netherlands an important target country. After all, Dutch companies that internationalize often set their sights on Germany. Hamburg as a potential and succesful German business location is not yet on the radar screen of too many entrepreneurs and decision-makers.
Karres-ARCUSplus, has provided Hamburg Invest with practical tools to get a better grip on the Dutch market. The acquisition potential of two technology clusters – Life Sciences & Health (LSH) and Mobility & Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) – was mapped out. Insight was provided into the dynamics of the Dutch market and into promising subsectors and networks within these clusters. With the translation of the formulated strategy into a compact action plan, Hamburg Invest has the right tools to start acquisition in the Netherlands.
