Business cards in Amsterdam

Zuidas and international headquarters

Zuidas is Amsterdam's main business district, home to a concentration of law firms, banks and international company headquarters, many of which conduct meetings in English by default. A virtual business card fits that international setting well, since a profile can be set up entirely in English and updated instantly if a contact moves between offices, which is common among the multinational firms based there.

A direct meeting culture

Dutch business meetings are known for being direct and efficient, with little time spent on small talk before getting to the point, and a card exchange fits that same pace: a click or scan shares a full profile in seconds rather than a slower ritual of reading a paper card aloud. RAI Amsterdam, one of the country's largest exhibition venues, hosts a steady calendar of trade events where that speed matters across a full day of meetings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set the profile up entirely in English for an international Zuidas office?

Yes, all profile fields are plain text and can be written entirely in English or any other language.

Does the fast Dutch meeting style suit this format?

Yes, sharing a profile by click or scan is quicker than a traditional card exchange, which fits a direct meeting culture well.
