NABC recently organized in close cooperation with the Algerian Embassy an Algerian-Netherlands Business Forum a network reception with a high level Algerian delegation in Leiden. The delegation visiting the Netherlands consisted of government officials as well as representatives from the private sector. The Algerian companies were joined by their lobby arm or employers’ confederation known as CNPA (the National Confederation of Algerian Employers) as well as the National Union of investors (UNI). Major Dutch companies actually present in Algeria such as Shell Algeria, Unilever Algeria & Africa Invest Algeria joined the forum to share their experience in doing business in Algeria.
A major goal of this forum was to facilitate the establishment of new business partnerships between the Algerian and Dutch private & public sector. The Algerian-Netherlands Business Forum is part of the Africa Works! Conference, organized by NABC -in close collaboration with the African Study Center. The Africa Works! Conference took place from October 16th to the 17th as the perfect follow-up after the Algerian-Netherlands Business Forum.
