INVITATION U.S. ROUNDTABLE: Strategic Public-Private Dialogue on U.S. Expansion

The U.S. Roundtable (Amerikatafel) is a new initiative of the European American Chamber of Commerce (EACC) Netherlands. With developments in the United States sometimes changing rapidly, it is not always easy for Dutch companies and organizations active in the U.S. to have timely access to the right information and insights.

The U.S. Roundtable therefore brings together key partners from the Dutch ecosystem to exchange knowledge, experiences, insights and plans.

By strengthening public-private cooperation, we aim to improve coordination and jointly enhance support for Dutch companies with ambitions in the U.S. market. The meeting will be held under the Chatham House Rule and is by invitation only.

Participants

• Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO): Heads of Economic Department / (Deputy) Consul Generals, Netherlands Business Support Offices (NBSOs), Innovation and Agricultural Attachés, and other officials with a U.S. focus.
• EACC Netherlands: Members (Dutch service providers and companies with a U.S. focus) and associated ecosystem partners, including industry associations and other relevant organizations.
