Today the Dutch Chamber commences operations in Miami. The Chamber was established to promote the development of local, regional and international business opportunities between business organizations in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and in the Americas. The Chamber has its Inaugural Event on February 16th at the Miami Boat Show.

The Chamber will directly add to the existing framework, facilitating Dutch companies that do or want to do business here in Florida, to establish the right connections with local businesses and government in order to create a long-term sustainable, profitable stream of income. Also, working closely with local Chambers of Commerce, the Netherlands Consulate General and important government agencies at different levels, the Dutch Chamber in close cooperation with the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) can provide a wide range of services and contacts for US companies that want to expand to The Netherlands.

“We are creating a platform that provides maximum exposure on both sides of the Atlantic for all our members.” Says Frank Behrens, President of the Dutch Chamber. “The support of the local Dutch community and the Dutch Consulate General has made this possible.”
Simone Filippini, Consul General for The Kingdom of The Netherlands in Miami says: “This initiative takes place in the right location: Miami is the ‘Linking Pin’ between the US and The Caribbean and South America, we have now pulled The Netherlands into this powerful connection.”

The Chamber is an open forum with the main purpose of exchanging knowledge and experience between its members. It serves as a benchmark and voice for the Dutch-American business community in Florida.
The Dutch Chamber offers business services ranging from a basic consultation to tailored services designed to assist companies to conduct successful business in Florida, The Netherlands or the Dutch Caribbean.
