Cybersecurity Business Opportunities in the US Capitol Region

Presentation of the Cybersecurity Market Analysis of the Washington, DC Maryland and Virginia Area

Making a breakthrough in the USA is a dream that a lot of companies have. But how do you get there? A question that is also on the agenda of many companies in the security field. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dutch embassy and consulates, InnovationQuarter (IQ) and HSD are fully committed to do business in the United States with a Roadmap initiated last year. The Roadmap is a “multiyear programmatic approach to cybersecurity US". 

Joining the forces we help companies enter the US cybersecurity market. The roadmap bundles existing activities aimed at the US market and supplements them with new ones. The United States is one of the largest players in cybersecurity, in terms of market size, investments in research and development and foreign investments. The roadmap focuses on trade promotion, innovation, knowledge sharing and acquisition to bring American companies to the Netherlands. The underlying ambition is to allow the Dutch cyber security sector to grow sustainably and to become one of the top ecosystems in the world.
