Production industry constitutes a small part of the economy of Utrecht. The economy of Utrecht depends for a large part on the several large institutions located in the city. It is the centre of the Dutch railway network and the location of the head office of [[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]]. [[ProRail]] is headquartered in ''{{Interlanguage link multi|De Inktpot|nl}}'' (The Inkwell), the largest brick building in the Netherlands<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.usine-utrecht.nl/inktpot-prorail-ns-hoofdkantoor/ |title=De administratiegebouwen van de spoorwegen te Utrecht |access-date=10 April 2020 |language=nl |date=15 February 2016 |archive-date=23 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191223144903/http://www.usine-utrecht.nl/inktpot-prorail-ns-hoofdkantoor/ |url-status=live }}</ref> (the "UFO" featured on its façade stems from an art program in 2000).
