Headquartered in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (Beverwijk), we operate at the intersection of local industry expertise and global digital transformation. Whether we are optimizing a logistics chain in Rotterdam, advising a fintech startup in London, or deploying a remote AI audit for a client in Brazil, our mission remains the same: to transition Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from "AI-curious" to "AI-enabled."
While our physical doors are open in North Holland, our operational footprint extends across the Randstad, into key European economic zones, and virtually worldwide.
The Dutch Core: Powering the Randstad & Beyond
Our strategic location in Beverwijk puts us minutes from the heart of the Dutch economy. We do not just "service" these areas; we understand the specific industrial and economic pulse of each city.
The Corporate & Financial Hubs
For our clients in Amsterdam and Amstelveen, the focus is often on speed and scale. Here, we help agencies, financial firms, and headquarters implement Executive AI Advisory and workflow automation to stay competitive in a saturated market. We understand the high-stakes environment of the Zuidas and the creative agility required by the canal-belt agencies.
The Logistics & Industrial Backbone
The Netherlands is the gateway to Europe, and we are deeply embedded in its industrial supply chain.
Rotterdam: Home to Europe’s largest port, our work here often focuses on Operational AI Implementation—helping logistics and maritime companies use predictive models to streamline supply chains.
Schiphol & Haarlemmermeer: For businesses surrounding the airport, efficiency is the only currency that matters. We provide Business Process Optimization to ensure that systems move as fast as the cargo does.
IJmuiden & Beverwijk: As our home base and a center of heavy industry, we understand the unique challenges faced by manufacturing and industrial SMEs looking to digitize legacy systems.
Government, Law, and Innovation
The Hague (Den Haag): In the city of peace and justice, trust is paramount. We work with NGOs, legal firms, and consultants on AI Governance & Risk Advisory, ensuring that their AI adoption is ethical, compliant, and secure.
Utrecht: As the country's central IT hub, our Utrecht clients are often looking for advanced AI Tool Integration to overlay their existing tech stacks.
The Innovation Belt: Brainport and Science Cities
AI Strategy is not just for corporates; it is for innovators. First AI Movers is active in the Netherlands' primary knowledge clusters:
Eindhoven: Known as the "Brainport," this is where hardware meets software. We support tech-forward SMEs in aligning their R&D processes with the latest generative AI capabilities.
Cross-Border Connectivity: Belgium & Germany
Business in the Netherlands rarely stops at the border. Recognizing the tight economic integration of the region, we actively extend our AI Strategy Consulting services to the neighboring economic powerhouses:
Antwerp (Belgium): Just like Rotterdam, Antwerp is a logistics giant. We help Belgian SMEs modernize their operations to speak the same digital language as their international partners.
Brussels (Belgium): As the center of European policy, businesses here are hyper-aware of regulation. We provide the "Responsible AI" framework they need to innovate without breaking compliance.
Düsseldorf (Germany): A short drive from our HQ, the Rhine-Ruhr region is a key market for us. We bring Dutch digital pragmatism to German Mittelstand companies looking to accelerate their digital transformation.
Global Reach: The Remote AI Audit
While we love meeting face-to-face in Haarlem, Alkmaar, or Breda, the nature of our work is digital-first. First AI Movers was born in the cloud, and our "Virtual AI Audit" and remote consulting frameworks allow us to serve clients thousands of kilometers away with the same intimacy as a local visit.
We currently support a growing roster of international clients who choose us not for our proximity, but for our specific expertise in SME AI adoption:
United Kingdom: Serving consultants and agencies in London and beyond who need an external, objective view on their AI readiness.
Brazil: Helping Latin American tech and service companies leapfrog legacy stages by adopting cutting-edge AI workflows immediately.
Portugal & Spain: Supporting the burgeoning Southern European tech ecosystem with strategic roadmaps that bridge the gap between startup energy and enterprise stability.
How We Work Remotely
Geography is no longer a constraint on strategy. Our remote engagement model includes:
Virtual Readiness Assessments: We audit your current tech stack and workflows via secure video conferencing and screen-sharing sessions.
Asynchronous Implementation: We build your AI SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and automation workflows in the cloud, allowing your team to test and deploy them at their own pace.
Global Training Workshops: Whether your team is in Lisbon or Liverpool, our digital workshops provide the same high-impact upskilling as our in-person sessions in Utrecht.
Ready to Move?
Whether you are a logistics manager in Rotterdam, a creative director in Amsterdam, or a founder in São Paulo, the question is the same: Are you ready to move first?
First AI Movers provides the strategy, governance, and implementation support to ensure you don't just watch the AI revolution unfold—you lead it.
