JCC/JETRO/ IvCB webinar

“Reflections on new Dutch government & coalition agreement; highlights and impact for business”

 

The JCC is pleased to invite you to the webinar with the full support of IvCB and JETRO Amsterdam office.

 

As you are all aware, it took more than 9 months since the general election in March 2021 to the new coalition agreement of the formation of the fourth Rutte cabinet, a record time for a coalition agreement in the Netherlands!

Mr. Zuidhof (Founder and Managing Director) and Mr. Kievits (Senior Director) of IvCB will explain the new government’s policy plans, the expected impact on business, and how companies (especially JCC members) can position themselves to influence government policy. They will also explain how companies (especially JCC members) can influence the new policy and give companies a clearer picture of the opportunities and threats in the coming years in the Dutch market and advice on how they can strengthen their relationship with the Dutch government in the coming years (lobbying).

We look forward to welcoming you to this webinar!
