We look back at a successful joint event with Rotterdam Japan Club and Rotterdam Business School RUAS, which took place yesterday on 13 November, with talent development, education and collaboration as important core themes among other things.
It was our honor to welcome Minister Nakano from the Embassy of Japan on stage, who shared his valuable insights on Dutch-Japanese collaboration and the evolving business relationship between the two countries.
Also many thanks to Mariska Wit, Nathalie Barendswaard and colleagues for the great organization and warm welcome, to Fumiko Inoue and RJC team for the collaboration, to Bart Jonkergouw and Frank Berkers for your interesting presentations, and of course to all who attended!
This event is for members and invitees only.

Last year, Rotterdam Business School opened their new building at Kralingse Zoom, and we are pleased to welcome you there for our joint event on Wednesday 13 November.
“Let’s change the face of business” reflects the ambition of Rotterdam Business School to make an impact — on talent development, the business world, the city of Rotterdam, and society.
Collaboration is essential in their education. They work inter- and multidisciplinary, both within their organization and externally, at national and international levels. Their close cooperation with businesses ensures context-rich education that directly aligns with real-world practice. With four core themes, they aim to create impact in the coming years and contribute to the future.
Additionally, they offer unique international collaborations, including partnerships with Japanese universities, which enhance the curriculum. Their mandatory business internships foster deep cultural and professional exchange.
Don’t miss this opportunity! We invite you to join our upcoming event to discover how a partnership with RBS can strengthen your organization. Learn more about their programs, international collaborations, and meet future talents and other companies. We hope to see you there!
