Which African country(ies) are your favourit(s) and why? Or which regions in Tanzania are your favourit? When I speak for myself, I have only been in Tanzania yet, didn’t visit any other African country. But for sure this won’t take long. We are looking for cooperation with colleague tour operators in our surrounding countries and therefore will soon visit Kenya and Uganda for sure. How did you hear about the NABC? I visited a meeting with a Tanzanian horticultural delegation in the Rai last October. The chairman of the day was someone from the NABC. When I explained him my ideas, he suggested me to visit the next week’s meeting to see if a membership would be interesting for me. Why did you decide to join the NABC network? After 2 visits to the monthly meetings in October and November, I can say I have met many interesting people, of which many share the same ideas, and our love for Africa. I do think the NABC is a very good network platform, where many people can support each other and give business to each other. I guess when business is good in one African Country, you can copy it to many other countries as well. Therefore you need to have the contacts and networks, which one can find in the NABC group. Are you satisfied with NABC’s services thus far? So far I think I met many interesting people, I will absolutely be a member for hopefully a long time. If you were asked to describe NABC in five words, what would these be? Great network, Easy to enter, Friendly people, Love for Africa, Business Platform Which advice would you give to a company that intends to enter the African market? I would absolutely convince them about the importance of finding a reliable local partner. Without a reliable local partner business can become very difficult, and can even ruin you if you meet the wrong people. But with the right contacts there are plenty of possibilities in many different sectors. When we combine the networks and businessmind we have ourselves in Holland, with the networks of our partners in Africa, I am sure a great future lies ahead of us. Then again, the NABC can be a good tool to meet and find the right people.
As sales manager responsible for Africa, I was looking at finding opportunities to open markets in this vast continent, besides the few contacts we historically had.
The NABC Business Club held on the 17th of November was another great platform to meet friends and other Africa interested companies, for to exchange experiences over a drink and a good laugh.
Berenschot is active in many countries in Africa. Our passion is to organise. At all times, in the most complex of environments.
I joined NABC last month and see the benefits of networking with other partners in Africa.
"NABC=Efficiency I have been a member of NABC since December 2010. During my visit in Den Haag in August 2011 I took time to meet with the NABC team. I received a warm welcome and was taken in the meeting room where I had a meeting with the projec
An excellent atmosphere at the NABC ambassadors dinner. A great way to improve contacts in specific markets and a worthwhile social event!
As every year the Ambassadors Diner was THE place to be to meet many old friends and to make new friends on the international and professional level. The location and the quality of food was better then the prior events, the number of attendants is g
The evening was very well organized with plenty of opportunity to meet and talk with other people. The venue was much better than last year and dinner was good too. I would say the whole event gets a 9 out of 10 from me.
The Ambassadors Dinner seems to be a successful setup. In a short time it was possible to meet the representative Ambassadors of the various African countries and discuss the issues in an informal way. Next time we will participate again.
