Internationaal ondernemen vraagt om sterke partners, betrouwbare netwerken en actuele marktkennis. Zuid-Afrika biedt volop kansen in sectoren waar Nederland sterk in is – van duurzame energie en agribusiness tot health en fintech. Tijdens het Netherlands – South Africa Business Forum brengen we bedrijven, overheden en kennisinstellingen samen om concrete samenwerkings- en investeringskansen te verkennen én te versnellen. Tijdens deze middag brengen we Nederlandse en Zuid-Afrikaanse bedrijven, overheden en kennisinstellingen samen rond één centrale vraag: waar liggen de concrete kansen voor samenwerking en investeringen tussen Nederland en Zuid-Afrika, en hoe verzilver je die?<h2>Voor wie is dit interessant?</h2>Dit forum is interessant als je:<ul><li>Actief bent in binnen renewable energy &amp; critical minerals, agribusiness &amp; horticulture, life sciences &amp; health (incl. sport &amp; vitaliteit) of fintech.</li><li>Internationale groeiplannen hebt richting Zuid-Afrika of met Zuid-Afrikaanse partijen naar Nederland wil samenwerken.</li><li>Op zoek bent naar partners, projecten of markttoegang.</li><li>Betrokken bent bij internationale innovatie- of investeringsprojecten.</li></ul><h2>Wat haal je uit de bijeenkomst?</h2><ul><li>Je krijgt inzicht in actuele economische ontwikkelingen en prioritaire sectoren in Zuid-Afrika.</li><li>Je hoort welke ondersteuning en incentives beschikbaar zijn (o.a. via Invest SA, RVO en Invest International).</li><li>Ondernemers delen hun praktijkervaring met investeren en samenwerken.</li><li>In break-out sessies per sector kun je gericht de diepte in en vragen stellen.</li><li>En natuurlijk: volop gelegenheid om te netwerken met bedrijven, overheden en ambassadevertegenwoordigers.</li></ul><h2> Programma &nbsp;</h2><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:7.96%;"><col style="width:92.04%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;">12H45</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Walk in - Registration – Networking Light lunch will be served – Networking&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;">13H30</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">FIRST SESSION - Programme Director Mark Agterdenbosch</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;">13H30</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Word of welcome by Oost NL</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;">13H35</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Remarks by H.E.
