Amsterdam ranks as one of the best and most attractive international cities for people from all over the world to come to live and work. Together with its rich history, this magnificent city offers a vast array of sporting, cultural and educational events to its inhabitants. Amsterdam prides itself on being an open society with cultural freedom for all, thus creating the ideal environment for equality and creativity to flourish and for entrepreneurs and students to continuously improve themselves.

At Amsterdam Bright City, we aim to bring all these benefits together under one roof thus enabling people from business, science and culture to meet and learn from one another.

What is Amsterdam Bright City?

It’s a place where active, ambitious students work side by side with experienced entrepreneurs in our custom built Smart Work Center or socialise together in our lovely Grand Café. It’s also a place where a student’s ideas are valued just as highly as those of a CEO. We teach respect and understanding of the past, but our faces are turned firmly towards the future. You will find that innovation and creativity are promoted through a diverse range of stimulating and dynamic events such as conferences, symposiums, masterclasses, concerts, readings and conversations, where everyone is welcome to and encouraged to join in.

Amsterdam Bright City is the heartbeat of the Zuidas international business area. And, uniquely, it is supported by all sectors of the local community including banks, businesses, cultural bodies, the University world, students and youth groups.

Amsterdam Bright City is the ideal location to increase your expertise, knowledge and skills and we aim to improve the futures of all those who participate in our programmes.

And finally, it’s nice to know that you can relax with your friends in our Grand Café and enjoy a drink, dinner and a great evening out.
