This central location connects powerful economic regions in the West of the Netherlands with the German Ruhr area, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and the southern European industrial areas of Munich and Milan. East Netherlands has an outstandingly developed infrastructure, smoothly connecting roadways, rail traffic and waterways.

It is only a short distance from Amsterdam Airport  (Schiphol), Airport Münster-Osnabrück (FMO), Düsseldorf International and Airport Weeze. The arrival of the Betuwe Route (freight rail) and the High Speed Line rail links in the east of the country ensures even more efficient transportation.
