Beste ondernemer,

U heeft eerder aangegeven dat u interesse heeft in zakendoen met Oekraïne. We vertellen u daarom graag als eerste over een belangrijk evenement, dat wij op 13 februari organiseren in Den Haag.

Tijdens dit evenement hoort u alles over Internationale Financiële Instellingen (IFI’s) en hoe zij bedrijven financieren bij de wederopbouw in Oekraïne. Wilt u als Nederlands bedrijf actief meehelpen met de wederopbouw? Dan kunt ook u in aanmerking komen.

IFI’s investeren veel geld in de wederopbouw in Oekraïne. Tijdens het evenement leggen experts u uit welke financiering beschikbaar is en hoe u hiervan gebruik kunt maken. Ook leggen zij uit hoe het officiële tenderproces werkt. U ontvangt waardevolle informatie, die u een streepje voor geeft in het uitgebreide aanvraagproces.

Zet 13 februari 2025 dus in uw agenda! Binnenkort vindt u op rvo.nl meer informatie over het programma en aanmelden.

Met vriendelijke groet,

De Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland
