On behalf of the board of directors, staff, and myself, welcome to the Dutch-Bangla Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DBCCI). The mission of the Chamber is to facilitate and foster trade, investment, and opportunities between the Netherlands and Bangladesh and to encourage joint ventures and the exchange of knowledge by acting as a catalyst for the commercial energies of both countries.

I am very pleased to share that we provide many great benefits for our members. Networking, member benefits, and advocacy are a few of our main focus areas. Developing trade & business, we strengthen the bridge between Bangladesh and the Netherlands. Our networking events allow you to connect with other local and international business and community leaders.

Our frequent luncheons & dinners allow you to make a deeper connection with chamber members and learn from first-rate speakers. In addition to our networking events, we hold trade delegations to the Netherlands, tradeshows in both Bangladesh & the Netherlands, B2B meetings, cultural events, CSR programs, etc. Your membership gives you many different ways to promote yourself and make critical connections to further grow and develop your business.

Talk to our knowledgeable and helpful staff that can show you the growing list of member benefits that will provide a competitive advantage for your organization.

If you are new to the chamber, please remember, the greater your involvement, the bigger the return on your investment. It takes time to understand all that the chamber can do for your operation and to make connections with local business and community leaders. I encourage you to remain engaged and seriously consider participation on a committee.

I am pleased and honored to be the newly elected President during our 20-year celebration of the first Bilateral Chamber in Bangladesh. We welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing from you during the year. You, the members, are the foundation of the Dutch-Bangla Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Together we will harvest significant benefits for the robust and steady growth of the economy of both Bangladesh and the Netherlands.
