Week of Regional Entrepreneurship - MKB Amsterdam

Week of Regional Entrepreneurship - MKB Amsterdam

From 14 August to 23 August, the gong ceremony at Beursplein 5 focuses on the activity and entrepreneurship in the various regions in the Netherlands. Euronext has invited the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Regional Development Companies to put their work in the spotlight during the Week of Regional Entrepreneurship.

SME Amsterdam opens the trading day. SME Amsterdam is an association that works for the benefit of local entrepreneurs in and around Amsterdam. They have a lot of contact with municipalities, provinces and other interested parties. In addition, they help local business collectors with lobbying. They focus on topics such as reducing local government pressure and local charges, fair procurement opportunities, accessibility of the region, safe and sustainable business climate and well-trained staff.

Bart Drenth, chairman of SME Amsterdam: "Amsterdam has a beautiful historic city center with a great national and international appeal. But Amsterdam is (much) more than the inner city alone. The city of Amsterdam has other areas that are of major importance in the coming decades. It is also becoming increasingly clear that places around Amsterdam belong to the urban fabric of the metropolis. The city of Amsterdam is not an island in the region and the province, but it is a part of it. We advocate an integral spatial-economic view of the entire metropolis. Our partners are regional entrepreneurs who would like to contribute to this. We are pleased to open the exchange together with them."
