💚 It has been ten years since international media such as The New York Times and Lonely Planet declared Rotterdam a not to miss destination. And the city remains attractive for both business and leisure visitors. 🤝 Vice Mayor Robert Simons and our director Erik van Essen spoke to AD.nl about why they see tourism primarily as an opportunity. More than half of hotel guests are business visitors and Rotterdam’s places of interests are spread across the city. Projects that open next year, such as FENIX, Nederlands Fotomuseum and Portlantis, will again generate positive attention and offer new reasons to travel to Rotterdam. ✍️ Peter Groenendijk Veel steden worstelen met massatoerisme, maar in Rotterdam gaat de rode loper nog steeds uit https://lnkd.in/eg9Zame2 #rotterdam #tourism #businesstravel #MICE #hospitality #economy

🗺️ Boosting global trade efforts from Rotterdam Rotterdam Partners supports Rotterdam-based entrepreneurs with international business expansion ambitions, as a member of the Trade and Innovate NL network, alongside our regional partners. Together with this network, we assist Dutch entrepreneurs with international ambitions and in 2023 specifically, we conducted 80 tailored conversations with Rotterdam-based start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs in maritime & energy, agri-food/horticulture, and sustainable urbanisation fields. The majority of these conversations were with new companies looking to expand their businesses abroad. Our focus in supporting Rotterdam-based companies lies within understanding what entrepreneurs require to internationalise their businesses. Additionally, our (co)organised trade fairs, trade missions and initiatives include the multi-year collaboration signing between the ports in Brazil and Rotterdam with the Green Ports Partnership program and economic trade mission to Singapore focusing on maritime developments together with Rotterdam Maritime Capital of Europe.

Exciting news that will make you smile 😁 🧲 Visitors to international conferences and other business events contribute to Rotterdam's economy and strengthening Rotterdam's image as a knowledge city. That is why Rotterdam Partners is committed to attracting international (scientific) conferences, events and fairs that match the city's ambitions. 📢 Last week it was announced that the IFDH Int. Federation of Dental Hygienists (IFDH) has chosen Rotterdam for hosting the International Symposium on Dental Hygiene (ISDH) in July 2030. The ISDH is a leading international event that brings together dental hygienists from all over the world to share knowledge and innovations in the field of oral health. 🤝 Due to the enormous effort and enthusiasm of NVM-mondhygiënisten and our partners Congress Care, de Doelen and Rotterdam Ahoy the final voting was for Rotterdam. There are many other congresses and events in the field of Life Science & Health taking place this year by efforts of our team Convention Bureau and our partners.

🤝 Strengthening Rotterdam’s business relationship with China We are reflecting on a successful trade mission (focusing on green and smart shipping) and a relationship-building trip to China, which concluded last week in Shanghai. Our colleagues Jorn Douwstra, Alexandra Patsa - 潘爱丽, and Zheng Yang 杨正 discussed enforcing the trade and investment climate between Rotterdam and China, particularly in hydrogen, maritime, and urban developments. One of the key highlights was the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between Shanghai and Rotterdam (2024-2028), reaffirming our commitment to maritime and urban development, education, and healthcare. Furthermore, our team discussed the "Shanghai Go Global" initiatives with the Shanghai Services Federation and visited REFIRE for insights into hydrogen fuel cell mobility and power among other projects. This mission strengthened our ties with our East China network, resulting in several concrete interests to expand international business in Rotterdam. A big thank you to Gemeente Rotterdam, Port of Rotterdam, INBO, KCAP, LOLA Landscape Architects, MLA , MVRDV, Superimpose Architecture and our Mayor Aboutaleb with whom we organised many trade missions and delegations together over his time in office in Rotterdam and we are appreciative for all the efforts he has conducted in strengthening economic ties for Rotterdam both at home and all around the world.
