Partners for International Business

Doing business abroad can have its pitfalls. You may encounter trade barriers, a lack of knowledge among local government bodies and businesses or restrictive local laws. Joining forces with other businesses and the Dutch government puts you in a better position. The Partners for International Business (PIB) program allows Dutch businesses in the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom to enter into a public-private partnership with Holland Home of Wind Energy (HHWE) and the Dutch government in order to realize international ambitions.

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and HHWE access to a global network of embassies, consulates and Netherlands Business Support Offices. Together with clusters of Dutch businesses and knowledge institutions, the Dutch government is developing a tailor-made, multi-year program. This progam will comprise strategic activities to provide the best possible platform abroad for a Dutch industry or sub-industry and its specific clusters.

 

HHWE and multi-annual strategies

Since the start of the (pre-)PIB programs, HHWE was – and is – involved as coordinator in programs on China, Greece, Ireland, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States of America.

As your committed partner in the Dutch wind export, HHWE is the right party to seek collaboration on this private-public level and establish and coordinate these strategic approach of promising markets.

More information about the various programs can be found under ‘Our multi-annual strategies‘, as well as the Dutch companies involved in the cluster of the program.
