PcyOn Wednesday 19 November, The Dutch Chamber, together with Business Region Gothenburg and the Dutch Embassy, organised a seminar and networking event on growth and long-term success for Dutch businesses in the Gothenburg region.
After a short mingle, Patrik Andersson, CEO of Business Region Gothenburg, and Joost Reintjes, Ambassador of the Netherlands in Sweden, kicked off the evening with some interesting opening remarks. This was followed by a panel discussion in which our panellists, each with different backgrounds, shared their experiences of doing business in Gothenburg.
Pien Smits van Oyen (Pien Ceramics) and Sander Schimmelpenninck (Travel.se) started their businesses in Gothenburg quite recently, while Leo de Meere (Interim Management) and Carina Kloek-Malmsten (Mölndals Stad and Honorary Consul for the Netherlands) both have extensive experience doing business in Sweden. Raymond Beijen (Demcon Life Sciences & Health) will soon begin his journey in the Swedish market. The panel was moderated by Willemijn de Groot.
We touched upon various topics, such as cultural differences with the Netherlands, the Swedish business climate, and key factors for long-term success. The discussion was both informative and entertaining. The audience was engaged, asking insightful questions both to the panellists and to Patrik Andersson. We concluded the evening with another round of mingling.
We can look back on a very successful event and thank all the participants for their contribution!
