Last Thursday on 15 October, the Dutch Chamber hosted the event “Doing Business in the Netherlands” at the Dutch Embassy in Stockholm. We were delighted to welcome our members for an insightful afternoon filled with valuable information, supported by the Swedish Chamber in the Netherlands, NFIA, BDO, Eversheds Sutherland, and Montae & Partners.
The afternoon began with a mingle and lunch at the residence of the Ambassador. After a warm welcome by Joost Reintjes, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Sweden, and Manuel Harmsen, Chair of the Dutch Chamber, we kicked off with a Round Table Discussion.
The discussion centered on key considerations when starting a business in the Netherlands, with a particular focus on employee benefits. Our business partners shared their expertise on the various aspects entrepreneurs should consider before establishing a business in the Netherlands — including how to attract and retain talent.
Among the topics discussed were:
• The Dutch Expat Ruling — its current status and possible future changes.
• The Dutch pension system, including crucial rules and regulations relevant to new businesses.
• The importance of understanding sector classification and collective labour agreements in the Netherlands.
• The sometimes complex interplay between Dutch national law and EU regulations.
After the break, we took a closer look at these subjects through presentations by our partners:
• Swedish Chamber in the Netherlands – Better Relations, Better Business, Petra Beets
• NFIA – Support for Your Growth in the Netherlands, Anne Jansen
• BDO – Tax and Social Security, Robin Schalekamp
• Eversheds Sutherland – Employment and Pension Law, Bas Dieleman & Thijs Dalmolen
• Montae & Partners – Benefits, Insurance and Pension, Ron van Overhagen
The inspiring afternoon concluded with an opportunity for networking and specific questions, accompanied by drinks and light refreshments.
We extend our sincere thanks to Joost Reintjes and all our speakers for their preparation, time, and contribution to the engaging discussions during both the round table and the presentations.
Finally, we warmly invite all our members and network to join us for our next seminar, “Leading Through Uncertainty,” on November 14.
Feel free to bring colleagues, clients, or partners as we continue to grow and strengthen our community.
