Starting as an expat entrepreneur

What will you learn during this evening?
Would you like to set to work as an expat entrepreneur? During this evening, you will find out who you need to approach to get your project up and running on Dutch soil. You will gain a picture of the various funds and government agencies which you will have to deal with as a foreign entrepreneur in the Netherlands. And you will find out where you can get help if you’re not sure what to do anymore. This will provide you with a solid foundation for your future endeavours.
