The Slovene Dutch Business Platform is kindly inviting you to join them at the panel discussion on Friday, 25th January 2019, at 9:00, in the Plenary hall of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, Šubičeva street 4, Ljubljana.

It is for Slovenia of vital importance to be regarded as a prosperous and reliable trading partner. The internal market is limited, the geographic position excellent and its working force highly educated. Therefore, the question is how Slovenia can develop its potential also outside its borders.

In addition to the role and efforts of the State and civil society in promoting the internationalization of companies, there will be particular emphasis on the business relations and opportunities between Slovenia and the Netherlands. Both countries are relatively small and depend largely on their export, which in fact makes both countries a very interesting partner country.

We look forward to see you at this must-attend event!

Marc van Rijnsoever

President of Slovenian Dutch Business Platform

This event is a part of the ongoing activities of Circular Change in the field of Circular Economy and its established collaboration with the Kingdom of the Netherlands – two of them being memberships of the Circular Hotspot network and European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, which Ladeja Godina Košir, Executive Director of Circular Change, is currently the Chair of.
