CaboDutch Business Meet

On September 26th 2017 Atlantico Business Development organised the first CaboDutch Business Meet on behalf of the Cabo Verde North Chamber of Commerce (BeCV) and the bilateral CaboDutch International Business Chamber. The event took place at the Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce.

Some 20 companies and mayors from Cabo Verde met up with some 40 Dutch companies and organisations. Together they explored business opportunities in Cabo Verde's northern islands Boa Vista, São Vicente, São Nicolau and Santo Antão. Options were discussed in both plenary sesions and individual B2Bs and were found in the maritime, agribusiness, water, renewable energy production and tourism sectors. The CaboDutch Business Meet was sponsored by NL Enterprise Agency, Lopes Liquors, Boundless World Solutions, the Chamber of Commerce and Atlantico Business Development. An interview (in Portuguese) with Arnout Nuijt about the mission by Osvaldo de Brito of Letra das Ilhas can be found here.
