Elevate your British-Dutch business to the next level with other NBCC members – North Sea Neighbours!

The Netherlands-British Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the British Embassy in the Hague and Ebury, is delighted to invite you to this year’s first NBCC Flying Start Event to introduce our new members to the NBCC and, most importantly, to one another. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow NBCC members and pitch your business to industry experts, thought-leaders, and champions of UK-NL relations!

Hosted by the British Embassy in the Hague and Ebury, the event will be opened by the British Ambassador and Patron of the NBCC, H.E. Ms. Joanna Roper CMG. The opening address will be followed by NBCC Partners providing comprehensive insights into key facets of conducting business in the United Kingdom. The agenda will then allow ample opportunity for networking with both new and established NBCC members.

Attention new members! As part of the NBCC Flying Start tradition, you will have the chance to deliver a succinct overview of your company during a 3-minute elevator pitch, followed by a series of ‘speed-dates’ to introduce yourself to other members. The event will conclude with an informal drinks reception, providing ample time for mingling and exchanging contact details.
