The Boston-based Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) is opening a new start-up hub for innovation companies in Rotterdam, the Netherlands - the first of its kind outside of the US. The arrival of CIC is a huge boost for Rotterdam's innovation ecosystem. The Center will house 550 innovative companies and build upon CIC's international community of entrepreneurs, investors, and established businesses.
The City of Rotterdam has put a lot of effort into drawing CIC's attention to the city, aiming to be a beacon for successful Dutch start-ups and a landing pad for international businesses. CIC Rotterdam will provide the missing link in both the Rotterdam and Dutch national innovation ecosystem, giving start-ups the potential to develop into world players.
