EuroDev

The EuroDev story
When EuroDev was founded in the Netherlands more than 25 years ago, our focus was primarily on sales development. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with clients to develop a unique business development model for European expansion. During this process, we gained expertise in a wide variety of sectors, including industrial, retail and healthcare.
The establishment of a second office in 2000—this time in France—gave EuroDev clients even greater access to our pan-European network of contacts and resources. That same year, we set up an HR division, which also gave them access to some of Europe’s most sought-after talent, and to the resources they needed to manage European workforces in full compliance with local laws and regulations. Five years later, we expanded our portfolio by creating a mergers and acquisitions division, providing yet another way for clients to expand their European presence. In 2019, we added Digital Marketing services to our portfolio.
We opened the EuroDev Center—home to more than 53 North American companies—in 2010. This state-of-the-art building is centrally located in the eastern Netherlands’ Almelo municipality. It includes office space equipped with the latest IT infrastructure as well as warehousing and logistics facilities. Just 20 minutes from the German border and close to four major European airports, the EuroDev Center makes it easy for tenants to connect with European vendors, OEMs and end-users.
Today, we continue to seek new avenues for growth and ever-more innovative ways to help clients to achieve their goals.

EuroDev is led, staffed and advised by individuals who are committed to our core values and our clients’ success. Each brings a unique educational background and life experience that complements the group as a whole.

Ambassadors
Since its inception in 1996, EuroDev has developed constructive relationships with a wide variety of vendors, affiliates and colleagues. We’re grateful for the mutual respect and knowledge-sharing that this global network of contacts affords.

Next to that, our website uses analytics cookies to analyze the behavior of our website visitors in order to improve our website. These cookies do not process personal data (identifiable data). Our website includes social media buttons. By clicking on these buttons, you will be redirected to the website of the relevant social media party. EuroDev does not control any cookies used by third party websites.

We also obtain data from third parties. We protect data obtained from third parties according to the practices described in this statement, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. These third-party sources vary over time, but have included:
- publicly available sources
- existing relations
How we use the information collected
We mainly rely on three separate bases to lawfully process your information.
- In accordance with an agreement (incl. our Terms & Conditions)
- Based on your given consent
- Out of EuroDev’s legitimate interest, as long as this legitimate interest does not overrules your rights
Occasionally, EuroDev may rely on other legal bases to process your information for example to comply with a legal obligation.
How we share this information
We will share information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of EuroDev when this is necessary to fulfill our agreement or when we have your consent.
- Within EuroDev
Information may be shared within EuroDev, including with other EuroDev Services and affiliates. EuroDev affiliates may use the information in a manner consistent with their privacy policies.
- With our clients
The nature of our services demands that we share personal data with our clients. This means that we share cv’s and motivational letters for recruitment purposes, data necessary to fulfill an agreement, or data necessary for direct marketing purposes. Not all of our clients are located within the EU/EEA and, for those outside, appropriate safeguards have been put in place to comply to the GDPR (see also “Transferring data outside the EU/EEA”).
- Trusted local service partners
We provide user information to trusted partners who work on behalf of EuroDev based on our directions and in compliance with appropriate confidentiality measures (i.e. payroll-providers, lease companies, etc.).
- For legal purposes
We may access, preserve and disclose information to investigate, prevent or take action in connection with: (i) legal processes, and legal and governmental agency requests; (ii) enforcement of the Terms; (iii) requests for customer service; (v) establishing or exercising our legal rights or defending against legal claims; or (vii) as otherwise required by law. This may include responding to lawful governmental requests.
- New ownership
If the ownership or control of all or part EuroDev or a specific Service changes as a result of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, we may transfer your information to the new owner.
Security and data retention
EuroDev uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal data you provide on computer systems that have limited access and are in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential data over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption.
EuroDev will retain your information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. If you no longer want EuroDev to use your information to provide you with the Services, you can contact EuroDev. We will delete the information we hold about you, unless EuroDev needs to retain and use your information to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes or to enforce our agreements.
Legitimate interests
EuroDev may use your information to provide, improve and customize our Services. This may include the sharing of your information for such purposes as is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests and your legitimate interests in receiving personalized content and services.
You have the right to object to any of this processing and, if you want to object, please contact EuroDev via info@eurodev.com.
Transferring data outside the EU/EEA
EuroDev may process information related to individuals in the EU/EEA and may transfer that information from the EU/EEA through various compliance mechanisms, including data processing agreements based on the EU/EEA Standard Contractual Clauses.
The United States and other non-EEA countries have different laws on data protection and rules in relation to government access to information. If you are based in the EEA, when your data is moved from your home country to a third country outside the EEA, some of these countries may not have the same data protection safeguards as your home country.
To the extent that EuroDev is deemed to transfer information about you outside the EEA, EuroDev relies separately, alternatively and independently on the following legal bases to transfer your information:
- Standard contractual clauses
The European Commission has adopted standard contractual clauses that provide safeguards for personal data that is transferred outside the EEA. We use these Clauses where possible when transferring personal data outside the EEA including to our affiliates.
- Contractual necessity
By signing an employment contract, a contractual necessity is created to share information with the North-American based customer. As we operate in countries worldwide (including in the United States), we can’t provide our Services without moving your data around the world.
Final note
This Privacy Policy applies only to EuroDev and it’s affiliates. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that EuroDev does not own or control, or to people that EuroDev does not employ or manage.
We may amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will inform you when and what changes are made.

Our Ongoing Projects
Climbing the Right Tree is committed to putting young Africans in control of their future and that of their region or country. We seize the opportunities offered by digitalization and make them a reality. Since our inception, Climbing the Right Tree and its African partners have equipped more than 80 schools with computer labs, thus reaching more than 30,000 pupils and students from less fortunate backgrounds.
Currently, we are a collection point for unused electronic equipment for this project. Follow the link above to learn more about the project or send an email to ghana@eurodev.com
Contribution to educational institutions - We work in close collaboration with local educational institutions like Saxion University, Windesheim University, University of Twente, Hoornbeeck College and SPGH Daycare. EuroDevers are involved in (Advisory) boards, give guest lectures, develop and participate in assignments, and mark theses.
Internships are an integrated part of who we are and what drives us. We take internships seriously. In the recruitment stage, we create a full recruitment experience. During the internship, the interns are mentored by selected and trained coaches, receive 24 on-the-job pieces of training, have access to 5 academies, and will receive a Lifo® training which allows interns to identify their behavioral leadership style and learn to bridge it to differing styles. By coaching students and providing them with experience on the job, we create opportunities for career development. For North American inters we facilitate a Summer Internship to support culture exchange.
The HBS Crossroads Emerging Leaders Program is a fully-funded career development opportunity for students from across the world, who are the first member of their families—or the first generation within their family—to attend university and face challenges of financial and social circumstances. We offer participants of this program a sponsored internship in Europe.
Scholarships - EuroDev supports students who during their study are facing difficulties in finishing their education in the field of international business. We do this with loans, scholarships, and personal support. For applications please contact us.
