What could be more rewarding than seeing your company grow beyond borders...
The Benelux countries Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg are the UK’s second largest export markets.
Belgium and the Netherlands are both small, affluent and multicultural countries. They have open and highly competitive markets with opportunities in most sectors. Whilst doing business in these markets is like doing business in the UK, there are distinct cultural differences.
Belgium alone has three regions with cultural and language differences. The Netherlands created the world’s largest port expanding seaward rather than landward. With that they are the 14th biggest economy in the world – the Netherlands are a small nation with a big clout. They pride themselves as great linguists, yet they are culturally different.
The training will cover:
- different business and economic environments
- business communication and negotiation styles
- challenges and solutions for doing business
- understand and overcoming common pitfalls
- ease of doing business
- market entry
- importance of e-commence
- language differences
