The barometer will show you which areas you need to improve, how you can save and the measures you can undertake.
Assen is the capital of Drenthe and has more than 500,000 citizens. It is a well-developed city with a beautiful environment and is easily accessible within the Netherlands and Europe. There are seven business parks in the city where companies can build their premises. There are also well-established business associations that can support different ventures.
