“At the end of a successful 2021, we recognized an opportunity to grow and expand our reach. Then, the research begun to find the most suitable ecosystem for our operations – we looked at few countries in Europe including the Netherlands. The ease of finding information about business in the Netherlands and fast response of the NFIA had made up our minds that the Netherlands is our place of choice”, said Majd Aburas, CEO of SolaaS Group.
“In a concerted effort to restructure the business for an optimized R&D environment and a technological ecosystem, we selected the Eindhoven as our base. This marked the commencement of our European entities within a few months of first contact with the NFIA.”
