🌍 International talent pays off.

New analysis by the CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, concludes that international students contribute more to Dutch public finances over their lifetime than they cost. 📢👨‍🎓

As a business school welcoming students of more than 100 nationalities, Wittenborg sees first-hand how international talent contributes to local communities, the labour market and the wider Dutch economy.
