Dutch eye-up 60 London firms as Brexit drives them away

Amsterdam is seeking to lure companies and the European Medicines Agency as Brexit drives them away from London, even as a Dutch cap on bank bonuses keeps financial firms away.

The city’s top economic official is in “serious conversations” with 60 companies, among them broadcasters and services firms, as they seek to lock in prime locations.

“Companies that need to spread out from London into other member states don’t want to be standing at the back of the line,” Kajsa Ollongren, Amsterdam’s deputy mayor in charge of economic affairs, said.
