Tilburg has always been one of the most fertile economic grounds of the Netherlands. In the 19th century, the city was one of the centres of wool textiles manufacturing. Later on, the local budget started to receive incomes from food processing, the production of metals, chemicals, paper, and the activities of numerous enterprises operating in the tertiary sector. During the last decade, the number of small and medium companies in the city increased. It has led to the growth of demand for more flexible and convenient workspace. Many solo-entrepreneurs and SMEs have found sophisticated office solutions in the business centres of Tilburg. Nowadays, Tilburg features 14 business parks, located in the strategic areas of the city - Spoorzone, Prof. Cobbenhagenlaan, and Ringbanen districts. A great benefit for the future development of Tilburg is its strategic geographical position and more than 1000 hectares of land dedicated for the enlargement of the commercial real estate market, building new homes, the extension of infrastructure, etc. Nine more business centres are now under construction in Tilburg. They will offer modern office suites, coworking and meeting rooms facilities as well as various leisure, financial and public options.
