On Thursday 10 July, this year’s Dujat Showcase took place at Hotel Okura Amsterdam: our annual public summer event where Dujat membership is not required to attend, giving other companies the opportunity to get to know our Dutch-Japanese community.
We opened the event with a presentation by Hans Kuijpers, Director Investment Projects & Investor Climate of NFIA and Board Member of Dujat, with an update about Japanese investments and collaborations in the Netherlands. Then various members of Dujat gave pitch presentations, followed by a networking reception where visitors could meet with our exhibitors.
We thank all participants and visitors for joining this event, and hope to welcome you again next year.

Dujat Showcase
This is already the 5th edition of the Dujat Showcase in Amsterdam (not counting the Tokyo editions), which is an event that started in 2019 after several requests from our members, to give companies the opportunity to present themselves by giving a pitch presentation on stage, or by exhibiting their products/services.
It is also our only public event where we open registrations for companies that are not a member of Dujat, so they can join as a visitor and get to know our network. To give an impression, an overview of last year’s Dujat Showcase can be found here.
This year is a special year for Dutch-Japanese relations, with the 425th anniversary of Japan-Netherlands bilateral relations, and the Word Expo in Osaka which attracts many Dutch delegations, including a royal visit from His Majesty King Willem-Alexander.
We will start the event with a presentation by Hans Kuijpers, Director Investment Projects & Investor Climate – NFIA (Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency) and Board Member of Dujat, about Japanese investments in the Netherlands.
