According to this Next-Gen report, the Dutch games industry is now worth €1 billion per year in revenue and is growing 50 percent faster than any other games market in the region.

"The remarkable success of the Dutch game industry can be attributed to the significant interest in game-related research, education and science in the Netherlands," said Seth van der Meer, chairman of the NLGD Foundation.
van der Meer expects Dutch games industry revenues to grow to €1.2 billion in 2008 and the number of jobs to increase to 1,800, a 20 percent increase in both revenue and workers. He also expects ten Dutch-created games for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to be released worldwide.
