International Trade Day (cancelled)

Dear business partner,

We are sorry to inform you that the International Trade Day that was to take place on 11 October has been cancelled, due to a too low number of registrations. Those who have already registered will be contacted personally.

We hope to meet you at one of our other events in the future.

Het spijt ons u te moeten mededelen dat de International Trade Day die op 11 oktober a.s. zou plaatsvinden is afgelast in verband met een te laag aantal aanmeldingen. Degenen die zich al hebben aangemeld krijgen persoonlijk bericht.

We hopen u in de toekomst op één van onze andere evenementen te mogen ontmoeten.

Do you have international export ambitions to expand your network or look into new business opportunities? At the International Trade Day you will get to meet experts in international trade and the chance to learn about new markets. Representatives of the International Campuses of NHL Stenden will give you an inside look into the countries they are located in: Indonesia, South Africa, Qatar and Thailand. It is an ideal opportunity for you to discuss business collaborations, business experiences and to get informed how to start or expand your trade in these countries or in the region of Asia, Africa or the Middle East. Join other export companies, trade experts or support organisations and be inspired!

“There is an increasing production, trade and cooperation across national borders. So the labour market for our graduates is becoming more and more international and intercultural. Organisations, companies and employees face a national and international environment, even within the boundaries of their own country or region. Therefore NHL Stenden offers an international multicampus for our students and the involved companies and organisations. We can use it as well for encouraging exchange of experiences, ideas, plans and stimulating ex/import. We are rooted in Leeuwarden, Emmen, Groningen, Meppel, Zwolle, Terschelling, Assen, Amsterdam, Qatar, Bali, Thailand and South Africa. Our representatives can give you an inside look in their experiences in these regions, discuss conduct of business or discuss business collaborations in these regions. We can also support you by involving students and staff on our locations abroad in projects or assignments on e.g. market research, business plans or events."
