Everything points to Maastricht Region

The fault line between the Germanic and Latin cultures runs from the North Sea until far into the Alps. It takes in Brussels, Maastricht, Lille, Aachen, Trier, Strasbourg, Basle, Bern and Bolzano. Seduced by the natural course of the Meuse and Rhine, it links a variety of historic towns and cities, places that have been polished by the centuries of friction between the Germanic and Latin cultures until they sparkle like rare diamonds. These towns and regions have accumulated a rich variety of experiences, traditions and transitions, all of which have made them incredibly resilient and dynamic.

What binds them to one another is the splendid balance they have achieved between working and living, utility and frivolousness, tradition and future. Each in its own way is deeply concerned about the quality of life, the balance between nature and towns, buildings and people, relationships and achievements, products and art.

This ideal “work/life balance” is also typical of the Maastricht Region. At a time when unbridled economic and population growth is leading to friction, we are unique in holding fast to our concern for quality and social cohesion. At the same time, our innovativeness, career opportunities and lively cultural scene produce a climate in which sustainable investment in “people, planet & profit” can flourish.

The Maastricht Region offers a flawless work/life balance. For two thousand years, it has been a pivotal location in Europe, the crossroads of East and West, North and South.
