Also known as the City of Angels, La La Land, and the City of Cities, Los Angeles is world famous for the glitter and glamour of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. But beyond the spotlight lies a vast, vibrant, and diverse economy, often ranking among the largest in the United States.
For Dutch entrepreneurs, that means real opportunities in areas like healthcare, sports, mobility, the circular economy, and creative and consumer tech, and more.

Silicon Beach
Los Angeles has become a major hotspot for venture capital, earning its self-given nickname “Silicon Beach”. Its dynamic startup ecosystem is home to countless young companies in cleantech, consumer tech, sport tech, media tech, green tech, and health tech, many of which got their start right here in LA.
But that’s only part of the story. The city is also a leader in sustainability, pushing forward strict environmental standards and ambitious green initiatives that help drive a cleaner, more resilient future.
Combined with its strong presence in healthcare, the creative industries, sports, and circular economy efforts, LA stands out as a true powerhouse on multiple fronts.
