Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring Round Table Doing Business in India in Deventer, bringing together 20 entrepreneurs around one table for meaningful, in-depth exchange. Organized by the Netherlands India Chamber of Commerce and Trade (NICCT) in collaboration with MKB Trade Office, the afternoon proved to be both insightful and energizing at our hosts office - Hortilife Deventer.

The round table format created an open and trusted setting in which participants shared their experiences, challenges and ambitions related to doing business in India. Guided by an experienced moderator and supported by a field expert, the discussions went beyond theory and focused on practical insights, real-life cases and concrete next steps.

A special highlight of the day was an unexpected and much-appreciated guided tour of Hortilife, offering participants a behind-the-scenes look at the company and sparking additional conversations on innovation, entrepreneurship and international collaboration.

The program concluded with informal networking, allowing ample space for one-on-one discussions and the strengthening of valuable connections. The strong engagement and openness around the table once again demonstrated the power of bringing like-minded entrepreneurs together to learn from each other.

We look back on a highly successful afternoon filled with knowledge-sharing, inspiration and new connections—and we thank all participants and partners for making this event such a memorable one.
