The Benelux Region at a Glance

Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg may look small on the map, but together they pack a serious economic punch. Belgium leads in chemicals and pharmaceuticals, the Netherlands dominates trade and logistics with the Port of Rotterdam, and Luxembourg shines in finance and asset management. Add in renewable energy and creative industries, and you’ve got a vibrant, future-ready B2B landscape.

How to Build a Strong B2B Strategy for Benelux

Success starts with your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). The guide shows you how to use over 100 filters and deep data on 5.2M+ companies in Benelux to pinpoint the right targets. From company size and revenue to tech stacks and hiring signals, you’ll discover how to map your total addressable market and spot high-value lookalikes in seconds.

Business Culture in Benelux

Culture isn’t uniform here. In Dutch-speaking Belgium and the Netherlands, expect directness and punctuality. In French-speaking Belgium, business is built on relationships, often over lunch. In Luxembourg, hierarchy rules, and decisions take time. The lesson: adapt your style – reliability, respect, and localization matter more than a slick pitch.

Compliant B2B Sales Outreach

GDPR and local e-privacy laws shape everything. Each country has its own nuances:

  • Belgium: Check the DNCM list before calling. Cold emails to generic addresses (like info@) are sometimes allowed.

  • Netherlands & Luxembourg: Require opt-in or an existing relationship for calls or emails.

  • Social selling: A legal grey zone – LinkedIn works, but only with relevant outreach.

The guide also highlights why trade shows remain a trusted, compliant way to generate leads across Benelux.
