Van Raam on a trade mission to the United States
Technical Director Jan-Willem Boezel and Sales & Marketing Manager Marnix Kwant went on a trade mission to the state of California in the United States in September 2022. Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Máxima, was also present during this mission. Read more in this article.
The themes: Urban mobility and Life Sciences & Health
The trade mission focused on the themes of Urban mobility and Life Sciences & Health and the strengthening and renewing of economic partnerships.
During the four-days long trade mission, several meetings were organized on the themes of mobility, health, sustainability, and urbanization, which is a hot topic for both the Netherlands and California.
An important part of this is cycling. Cycling is sustainable and good for your health. Making cities ‘bicycle-friendly’ is an important topic for cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Van Raam with Queen Máxima and Dutch ministers to California
Van Raam and other Dutch entrepreneurs participated in the trade mission together with Queen Máxima and Dutch ministers Robbert Dijkgraaf, Lientje Schreinemacher, Ernst Kuipers and Vivianne Heijnen, among others.
The trade mission was organized by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, the Dutch consulate in San Francisco and the NBSO (Netherlands Business Support Office) in close cooperation with the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Welfare and Sport, Infrastructure and Water Management.
The Dutch Economic Network in the United States, the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW) and MKB-Nederland (‘SME-Netherlands’) and other relevant branch organisations were also involved.
Cycling is sustainable and good for your health. It was therefore an important part of the mission.
Lots of inspiration and great contacts
An interesting and challenging programme was set up during the trade mission. For instance, educational meetings took place. But there were also several receptions in, among others, San Francisco’s City Hall, at the home of the Dutch television producer Reinout Oerlemans in Beverly Hills and a visit was made to the famous Venice Beach in Los Angeles.
A lot of inspiration was gained, and new and great contacts were made that can help Van Raam build awareness of Van Raam’s special needs bikes in the United States.
Van Raam member of Dutch Cycling Embassy
The Dutch Cycling Embassy was also present at this trade mission. Van Raam has been a member of this organisation since 1 September 2022. The Dutch Cycling Embassy is a public-private network for sustainable, and bicycle inclusive mobility. The initiative aims to promote cycling abroad. They do this for foreign parties as an intermediary for Dutch knowledge on cycling and the Dutch parties that have this knowledge. They offer knowledge, experience and experts provided by private companies, NGOs, research institutions, national and local governments. Read more on the Dutch Cycling Embassy website.
