Today, we had the pleasure of kicking off a new project with students from our member institution, Deltion College in the Netherlands. These students, as part of their Marketing & Communication course, will be developing several export marketing plans over the next two weeks. We’re excited to accompany the students with their export marketing plans, as they embark on this learning journey.

The session began with an interactive quiz exploring the history, economics, and culture of Portugal. We were delighted to welcome entrepreneurs Lara Malta, Jeffrey Marks and Ruben Westmeijer (also fellow Chamber members) who shared insights about their business ventures and the realities of doing business in Portugal. Their personal stories, market strategies, and practical advice were truly inspiring for the students.

A big thank you to Erik Jansen, the professor from Deltion College, for skillfully moderating the event, and to Martelle Bertens for their invaluable support throughout the day.

It was fascinating to hear the unique experiences and perspectives of our guest speakers. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making today such a meaningful and engaging experience!
