The SANEC team looks back on a magnificent World Cup 2010 Trade Mission that took place from 29 October – 5 November. We would like to thank especially the Royal Netherlands Embassy and our sponsors PWC, Maersk & Heineken for their cooperation and support to make this mission a success. Read more about the mission under NEWS in this news update.
We are also looking ahead; the production of the Business Directory 2009 is on full steam as is the organisation of the Trade & Investment Gala Dinner, where the Business Directory will also be launched. The Dinner will be held on Friday 13 March at the MonteCasino Ballroom. A personal invitation to this event will follow shortly.
On a sadder note, Anne Doeser has indicated she is leaving SANEC, as she will be moving to Belgium in the beginning of the year. Joyce Moons will be staying on as General Manager until long term arrangements are finalised. For queries on trade missions, match-making opportunities and trade enquiries, contact our project manager Douwe Mateman. And for all your membership queries, Round table discussions and networking events, contact our account manager Femke van Zandvoort. Enjoy the read.
Kind regards,
The SANEC team
