The week after 2 weeks of events is hard but also gives you lots of energy to look back at and continue working on all inspiration and connections that came up during the past week. So what have I been doing these past weeks, a short recap:
- Visit The Netherlands to attend the International Economy Week with all heads of the economic departments of Embassies, Consulates and Netherlands Business Support offices worldwide. In the same week we attended the NBSO Europe Strategy Days with our colleagues from the European NBSO offices and we attended the Nationaal Export Event to talk to companies with international ambitions. Last but not least we visited Deventer and the members of MKB Trade Office to tell them all about doing business in Spain.
- We welcomed the NL delegation of companies and cities to Barcelona to prepare them for a week full of inspiration during the Smart City Business Forum + Smart City Expo World Congress + Inspirational Bicycle Tour about Smart Mobility and Smart & Green Building closed with a Business Merienda at the offices of Manifesta with presentations from Manifesta15 + Camp Nou Architects + Race Against Waste. The following days we visited the NL Pavilion at Smart City Expo.
- In the same week the Gartner ITXPO Symposium took place. Together with NL Ambassador to Spain I visit the Dutch Analyst Session at the fair and also attended the BeNeLux government lunch on Tuesday and closed this topic with the Holland House in the evening.
- As our Dutch Ambassador to Spain visited Barcelona we used the time optimally and ensured he was able to talk to as many NL companies in Barcelona as possible. In addition we combined this visit with a meeting with the Mayor of Barcelona and a visit to the Industrial Sagrada Familia which will be one of the important nodes for Manifesta 15 taking place in 2024 in the city and it′s surroundings.
- To close the week we welcomed a fact finding mission of Task Force Health Care with companies in the e-health sector. We kicked off with an informal welcome dinner on wednesday followed by a Health Seminar on Thursday and visits to 3 hospitals the days after.
