| Q. Why should companies consider the Benelux as a 1st time export market? |
| A. The Benelux is a key, accessible, European market – and a base for many multinationals in the EU. With strong traditional industries (agriculture, steel and quarrying) it is also a key area for the automotive, transport, petrochemicals, agri-food and engineering industries as well as having highly developed telecommunication, ICT, service and food sectors. It is viewed by many Government trade bodies an excellent starter market for first time exporters as English is widely spoken and business cultures are similar.
