Doing business in the Jekerkwartier
Doing business in the Jekerkwartier is doing business in a special place. In a neighbourhood where history, culture and entrepreneurship come together. Where attention, quality and personal contact are more important than speed or scale.
The Jekerkwartier attracts entrepreneurs who make conscious choices. For their own story, a recognisable offering and involvement in the neighbourhood.
A neighbourhood with its own identity
The Jekerkwartier is not your standard shopping or hospitality district. The neighbourhood has its own rhythm and character, shaped by centuries of history and a diverse group of entrepreneurs.
You won't find uniform concepts here, but places with character. This makes the neighbourhood attractive to visitors, but also demands something from entrepreneurs: respect for the environment and an eye for the cohesion of the neighbourhood.
Entrepreneurship is a collaborative endeavour here
Many entrepreneurs in the Jekerkwartier know each other. Contact, consultation, and collaboration arise naturally. This mutual connection contributes to the atmosphere of the neighbourhood and strengthens the position of entrepreneurs.
Together, you are stronger. By sharing information, coordinating initiatives, and making each other visible, the Jekerkwartier grows as a whole.
What SOJKM means for entrepreneurs
SOJKM stands for Stichting Ondernemers Jekerkwartier Maastricht (Foundation for Entrepreneurs in Maastricht's Jekerkwartier). The foundation exists to connect and support entrepreneurs in the neighbourhood. The SOJKM:
