Description
Partners for International Business (PIB) allows Dutch companies with public-private partnerships to realise their international ambitions. Together with a cluster of Dutch companies and knowledge institutions, the Dutch government is developing a tailor-made, multi-year programme. This will list strategic activities to provide the best possible platform abroad for a Dutch industry or sub-industry in general, and the specific clusters in particular. The programme comprises three modules: promotion and matchmaking, knowledge exchange and networking, and economic diplomacy.
Target group
Dutch SME entrepreneurs, including from the creative industries.
