About TopDutch

The Netherlands, Holland, the Dutch and, now an extra addition to this list... TopDutch. TopDutch is the economic region of the Northern Netherlands - bringing together the provinces of Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe.

We’re TopDutch because we’re located, literally, at the top of the Netherlands. But we’re also TopDutch because we’re home to top Dutch business ecosystems, talent and solutions.
