Really neat list. Though a bit dated, I still think that anyone who's interested in moving to Amsterdam as a person with a background in the IT industry should definitely take a look into all of the companies which are mentioned here. By the way, my colleagues have written an article the other day about some Dutch tech companies which will definitely be worth one's attention in the upcoming year. Take a look, you will not regret it: stxnext.com/blog/top-companies-net...
