Structuring commercial growth with responsible market access.
Bridging the Netherlands/EU and the Middle and Far East, with a practical focus on agro-food, horticulture, trade and project development.
European perspective
Guiding Dutch organisations’ internationalisation into the Middle and Far East — exporting, setting up a project, finding a partner, or expanding market share. Special focus on Indonesia, where founder Maarten Smit’s 30+ years and fluent Bahasa make representation and negotiation transparent and effective.
Eastern perspective
Supporting Asian companies making an effective market entry into Western Europe — market studies, trade-fair participation, match-making, and in select cases, agency representation for organisations that meet our corporate social responsibility standards.

Netherlands & Europe
Your gateway into the EU — and out of it.

- Market entry studies & partner vetting
- Trade-fair participation & match-making

- In-market field validation
- Project structuring for regional decision-makers
