Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg — a compact, highly connected bloc at the centre of European trade.
Benelux is the economic union of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Its position at the crossroads of European trade routes, combined with major ports and a dense transport network, has made logistics and distribution a defining regional strength.
Amsterdam is the largest startup hub, with Brussels significant for anything touching European institutions and Luxembourg central to fund structuring.
Amsterdam hosts the deepest venture activity, with strong angel networks and a growing base of local funds. Luxembourg's role is distinctive — it is one of the world's principal centres for investment fund domiciliation, making it relevant to fund formation rather than startup operations.
