Despite the recent respite in the euro crisis, the economic situation in the European Union is still far from certain. All European countries, including the UK and the Netherlands, are faced with strong economic headwinds. This has led to a resurgence of the debate between austerity measures and the need to promote growth and jobs. The question of how quickly to tackle the deficit tops the agenda in Westminster and may very well be central to the upcoming Dutch elections, now set for September. Meanwhile, political developments in other Eurozone countries feed into discussions on the recently signed “fiscal compact”, from which the UK chose to opt out.
Against this backdrop, the UK and the Netherlands have continued to make the case for promoting growth and jobs in Europe. Sharing a long tradition as trading nations, both countries call for the need to create a business-friendly climate, strengthen the single market and expand trade with other countries and regions. The British and the Dutch have been equally vocal in arguing for a modest and modernised European budget (“multi-annual financial framework”) that would better reflect current fiscal realities and economic challenges.
Business for New Europe and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in London will therefore host a very timely discussion on these topics to mark the visit of Ben Knapen, Dutch Minister for European Affairs and International Cooperation, to London on 15 May. His Excellency, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Pim Waldeck, and the Chairman of Business for New Europe, Roland Rudd, are delighted to invite you to this seminar which will focus on Anglo-Dutch cooperation in a changing Europe.

Construction contracts for the London 2012 Olympics have gone to many Dutch companies, while others are supplying a wide variety of services during the event. Businesses from the Netherlands have been looking across the water for work over the past few years, and have been awarded contracts from the Olympic Development Authority (ODA) and London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG).
Much of the work by the Dutch has been on the Olympic venues. Royal Imtech NV for example, secured an order for the sustainable climate technology in the Olympic Stadium, while Variopool won the contract for supplying and installing movable floors and bulkheads inside the London Aquatics Centre. Back in 2007 Heijmans (in a joint venture with English contractor C.A. Blackwell) was contracted to carry out the major soil decontamination project to prepare for the construction work in the Olympic Park. More recently, the Olympic Park Legacy Company has awarded BAM Nuttall (the UK civil engineering company of Royal BAM Group NV) contracts worth £76 million to ‘Clear, Connect and Complete’ the Olympic Park. The contract includes removal of several temporary venues and connecting surrounding communities to the heart of the Park with new footways and cycle paths.
Examples of Dutch suppliers to the London 2012 Olympics include: Royal Eijsbouts, sub-contracted by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry to make the giant bell for the opening ceremony, Van den Berk, supplier of 2,400 trees for the Athletes Village and temporary structures specialist Neptunus, supplier of a 3,000 capacity corporate hospitality venue. A visualisation of (some) Dutch companies building the Olympics and their expertise can be found in the infographic below.

Grootschalige sportevenementen bieden mogelijkheden om Nederland, Nederlanders en Nederlandse producten en diensten te etaleren. De Rijksoverheid wil die kansen graag benutten. Hierbij spelen de (branche-) organisaties FME-CWM en het OrangeSportsForum een belangrijke rol, sinds kort op dit vlak ook samenwerkend in het Holland Sports and Industry. Dit samenwerkingsverband heeft geleid tot de website www.HollandSportsIndustry.com.
Recent is de laatste aanbestedingskalender gepubliceerd door het London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) voor contracten omtrent de Olympische Spelen.

Investeringen in de duurzame energiesector moeten de economie van Schotland transformeren. Dat zegt minister-president Alex Salmond, die vandaag een kaart met huidige en toekomstige investeringen in de Schotse wind-, golf- en getijdenenergiesector presenteerde.
Salmon geeft aan dat vergunningen zijn verleend voor projecten met een totale productiecapaciteit van 11 GW. In 2020 zou dit alle Schotse huishoudens van duurzame energie moeten voorzien.
