Netherlands Business Council UAE

Established in 1997 by the Netherlands Consulate and a group of prominent Dutch businessmen, the Netherlands Business Council, commonly known as NBC, aims to provide a platform for its members to network, encourage and promote business links with other like-minded businessmen, business councils in the GCC region and the Netherlands. The NBC undertakes a wide range of activities with the objective to enhance business prospects and expose the Dutch business community.

The NBC is a non-profit local association under UAE law and licensed under the umbrella of the Dubai Chamber. It is recognized by the UAE authorities as the representative body of Dutch companies and individuals operating in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. The NBC operates independently and is financially self-sufficient. The NBC has experienced significant growth over the last decade. From a handful of pioneering entrepreneurs and career expatriates, the NBC has grown to roughly 200 entrepreneurs, managers and executives in a large variety of industries. Many of whom regularly call on any of our 30 plus annual events.
