“The number of clients expanding in Europe more than doubled this year compared to the same period in 2019,” said Velocity Global founder and CEO Ben Wright. “Even amidst a global pandemic, our growing clients also doubled the number of supported employees onboarded in Europe this year compared to the same period last year. Europe is critically important for both Velocity Global and our clients.”
The uptick in volume supports findings in Velocity Global’s 2020 State of Global Expansion™ report that 41 percent of tech companies in the U.S. and the UK targeted Europe as the most promising market to grow their customer base.
Amsterdam emerged as the natural choice for Velocity Global’s European headquarters as a business-friendly, culturally attractive city for international commerce. The city is geographically adjacent to key markets like Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. This year, in the final months of the Brexit transition, the European Union received approximately 80 percent of the European growth among Velocity Global clients, while the UK remains the top individual country destination.
