WE ARE THE MOVEMENT FOR ‘NEW ECONOMY’ ENTREPRENEURS

Many Dutch companies indirectly or directly buy products abroad. Our national economies are intertwined with those of developing countries and emerging economies. Most of what you find on sale in Europe is at least partly manufactured in these economies. This relationship brings mutual benefits, but also responsibilities.
