RONALD DE RUITER
Overseas member, GrowArabic B.V.

“On behalf of GrowArabic, consultants in Indoor Farming, I can fully recommend joining the NBC. The NBC is very active in the region and a great support in establishing contacts with government, embassies and private sector. Especially here in the region of the Middle East connections are extremely important, so they really add value to the process. The NBC organises lots of initiatives via webinars and events for the local community of Dutch companies and clearly understands the challenges we all face. I fully appreciate their support and highly recommend becoming a member in case you are interested in doing business in this region.”
