The Netherlands is one of the largest startup ecosystems in Europe as it is home to innovation and unprecedented digital infrastructure. According to a latest Dealroom report, Amsterdam has the best startup business culture in the windmill country and has one-third of all startup jobs. However, another one-third of jobs are in cities such as Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Eindhoven, and the rest in the other Dutch cities.

As the number of startups and scaleups is on the rise, the number of jobs are also increasing. With the increase in the demand for skilled employees and innovative workplaces, the revenue models of these companies also change on a consistent basis.
