Review your activity description in the Trade Register before September
This September marks a significant update: millions of business activity codes (SBI-codes) at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) and Statistics Netherlands (CBS) will be revised. If entities such as banks, municipalities, notaries, or insurers fail to adapt to these changes, businesses might inadvertently lose access to loans, permits, or new contracts.
Pivot Park is at the centre of a vibrant ecosystem of universities, educational and research institutes and centres of excellence working in similar and related fields. Thanks to this, we can offer a range of academic, research and business education opportunities to employees of companies at Pivot Park and students at external institutions.
