International Success of Dutch Design 🔶 Van de stoelen van Rietveld, de gebouwen van Rem Koolhaas, via luxe jachten van Feadship tot de duurzame flessen van Dopper. Dutch Design vertegenwoordigt anno nu miljarden aan exportwaarde.    ⚽ Zelfs de jarige Marco van Basten kan je onder deze noemer scharen: creatief, innovatief en functioneel kenmerkten ook hem als speler. De kunststof opbergbakken van Sunware die ontworpen én geproduceerd worden in Brabant, zijn een ander mooi voorbeeld. Exporteert naar onder andere retailketens in 40 landen, en werkt al ruim 10 jaar samen met TRANSFER op de Franse markt. En inmiddels wordt overwogen om ook Spanje en eventueel het VK samen op te pakken.

🌍 Wallonië: Een Gemiste Kans voor veel Nederlandse Ondernemers! Veel bedrijven richten zich op verre markten en negeren het potentieel dat zich gewoon over de grens bevindt. 🚛 Belangrijke Inzichten: * Van de € 84 miljard die Nederlandse bedrijven vorig jaar naar België exporteerden, ging meer dan 89% naar Vlaanderen en Brussel. * Slechts 11% bereikte Wallonië, wat neerkomt op een gemist exportpotentieel ruim € 10 miljard! 🗣️ Wat weerhoudt bedrijven? * Veel ondernemers deinzen terug vanwege de Franse taal en andere manier van zakendoen. 💼 Waarom toch Wallonië? * Hoge mate van interesse in Nederlandse innovaties. Ideaal om te wennen aan de Franstalige manier van zakendoen. 🤝 Neem deel op 10 Oktober! * Ontmoet relevante Waalse handelspartners tijdens de Waals-Nederlandse Handelsdag te Circuit of Spa Francorchamps s.a. * Dit is een fantastische kans om meer te leren over marktmogelijkheden en te netwerken met Waalse ondernemers. 📻 Onze CEO Gerald Baal besprak dit eerder vandaag met Thomas van Zijl van BNR Nieuwsradio Zakendoen. 🔗Aanmelden kan nog via: https://lnkd.in/gsYkds4w Laten we samen het potentieel van Wallonië benutten!
