What advice can you give Dutch entrepreneurs who want to do business in Texas?
Building a successful business in Texas involves understanding the local market, navigating regulations, and fostering strong relationships. Before starting, seek support from Dutch institutions like the RVO and NBSO for support with international expansion and local connections. Embrace Texas’s independent and resilient spirit by actively engaging in community and business relationships. A high service level is crucial. You may want to consider including local American management to ensure effective communication and cultural understanding between Dutch headquarters and the US office.
