ABOUT THE ORGANIZER What is Benelux Baltics in Business?
Benelux Baltics in Business (BBB) is a platform to network, learn and get advice from the best. We are here to exchange knowledge and experience about doing business in both the Baltic countries and the Benelux region, become a trusted source of information for newcomers, and bridge the regions. It is a non-profit organization that aims to unite professionals and entrepreneurs from the Baltics and Benelux countries.
For whom is Benelux Baltics in Business?
In short, for everyone feeling a relationship between Baltics and Benelux region. It can be a student currently seeking career advice or industry knowledge and connections. It can be an entrepreneur looking for business partners or support. It can be any business professional who wants to grow personally or simply find a community of like minded people who often say “Yes! Let’s do this together.”
How did it all start?
It has all started by tasting the ‘bitterballen’ – the famous Dutch snack food which always goes with a glass of wine or beer. If you are living in The Netherlands and go to any type of conference or event, you are very unlikely to miss this ‘bitterballen’ moment. Dutch people would say this is where the magic happens – new business relationships are built, job opportunities emerge, and true lasting friendships are created. Seeing, feeling and participating in those Dutch ‘bitterballen’ networking events, a group of Lithuanian professionals got triggered! Why don’t we have such a place where two relatively small, but powerful regions can collaborate together?
Why Baltics in Benelux?
Not surprisingly many refer to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as the Baltic states. We are indeed tiny countries if you look from a global perspective. It sounds logical for these three small, but ambitious countries to collaborate and together as one unit.In fact, this is not a new idea! Benelux countries have already shown and proved to us that this concept works very well. So, this is how the idea was born to connect these two relatively similar regions with each other.
