The fact that over 1,100 jobs and 330 businesses have been created in a single year is therefore very good news. Apeldoorn is growing, and it is important that the number of jobs grows alongside it. It is also encouraging that Security &amp; Digitalisation and the Energy Transition are contributing to that growth. It is precisely in these areas that Apeldoorn has a lot to offer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>A strong and diversified economy<\/h2>\n<p>Research by Bureau Louter also shows that Apeldoorn is performing strongly economically. Apeldoorn ranks 14th out of 342 Dutch municipalities. This makes Apeldoorn number one in Gelderland and, after Zwolle, number two in the eastern Netherlands. Apeldoorn\u2019s strength lies in its diverse economy. The municipality is home to a wide variety of businesses and jobs and is therefore not reliant on any single sector. In particular, the ICT sector, business services, financial services and the public sector are strongly represented.<\/p>\n<h2>The region\u2019s job creator<\/h2>\n<p>Apeldoorn is also the biggest driver of job creation within the Stedendriehoek region. The council continues to work in partnership with businesses, educational institutions and other partners. In this way, we ensure there is space for businesses, a well-educated workforce and enough jobs for a growing municipality.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apeldoorn\u2019s economy is growing.
