An Inspiration Business trip to the Dutch Caribbean islands will take place from May 12th to May 20th 2011 and will continue to Surinam on May 23rd and May 24th 2011. This trip is aimed at providing new opportunities to do business in the restructured Dutch Kingdom. Participants on this trip are Government officials, companies, business associations, business communities and agencies from the Caribbean parts of the Dutch Kingdom and from the Netherlands.
The inspiration business trip is being organized by Interexpo Caribbean NV in collaboration with the Dutch-Caribbean Chamber of Commerce and the Dutch Surinam Chamber of Commerce. Global Professional Services has been invited to assist with the coordination and organization of this event on St. Maarten.
New opportunities on Dutch Caribbean islands
The new constitutional structure and the economic growth of the Caribbean parts of the Dutch Kingdom is offering new opportunities for businesses on both sides of the ocean. After the dismantling of the Netherlands Antilles, all the islands are interested in a solid socio-economic development and growth and would need solid business partners, suppliers, importers and exporters and investors. Also, the new entities in the Dutch Kingdom would need to comply with Dutch legislation in several areas. For the Dutch companies which are currently confronted with a stagnating economic situation in the Netherlands, this could offer new opportunities for expansion. Equally, interisland joint ventures and business opportunities may also open up to companies on the various islands which previously may not have been considered.

During the Inspiration Business Trip, there will be a very intensive program on the islands. The delegation is scheduled to arrive on Statia on May 12th after which it will travel to Saba and it will arrive on St. Maarten on May 15th 2011.

The delegation will travel to Aruba on May 17th and from there to Bonaire and Curaçao. On May 23rd and 24th the delegation will travel to Surinam.
