Rotterdam Partners co-hosts Dutch-US Maritime Networking Day
On Wednesday 12 April Rotterdam will welcome The Maritime Alliance (TMA) from San Diego CA (USA) for the Dutch – US Maritime Networking Day at the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam. This networking event is all about fostering collaboration between Dutch and US companies in the maritime industry, and finding distributors, channel partners, and/or technology partners. Rotterdam Partners and Innovation Quarter are jointly supporting this event in Rotterdam.
You can be there to meet the delegation of innovative US SMEs, interested in collaboration with European companies!
Home to one of the largest ports in the world, the maritime industry is traditionally one of the key business sectors in Rotterdam, centre of unique knowledge and skills around shipping, cargo flows and related activities. The maritime industry in San Diego is also large, bringing in more than $14 billion a year with more than 46,000 jobs. And the U.S. maritime industry is massive with many sectors. TMA was chosen by the U.S. Department of Commerce to organize the 1st ever U.S. Maritime Technology Export Initiative. A visit to the Netherlands is part of the program.
The Dutch-US Maritime Networking Day is organized by the International Trade Administration (part of the U.S. Department of Commerce), Rotterdam Partners, and The Maritime Alliance. At the Maritime Networking Day you can:
• Participate in matchmaking between Dutch and US maritime companies
• Get up-to-date with the latest trends in the Blue Economy
• Get to know the U.S. companies when they each provide a 5 minute “lightning” introduction
Participation is free. Registration via this form is required. Deadline for registration is 6 April 2017. For additional detail and brief information on the participating US companies, please check the event flyer.
