Vision & Mission
Background:
Networking and Business Development throughout the last 50 years have changed enormously. Internationally, though the role of embassies has changed, the training and system with staffing and execution remained the same. Chambers of Commerce in different countries are represented through different roles; some are integrated in the government administrations (e.g. in the Netherlands), whereas in other countries they are pure private initiatives.
In light of this, The Benelux – Indonesia Association (BIA) is initiated by a group of persons with high integrity and established business experiences in and between Europe and Indonesia. BIA is founded with the belief that there is a need for a sound neutral foundation that positively develops business between Indonesia and the Benelux as a gateway for the European market and vice versa.
Keeping in mind that large companies have sufficient means to enter new markets, we believe that a cooperation platform with small, medium sized companies and large conglomerates, an innovative, efficient, focussed, extensive presence can be achieved. This leads to a more impactful and sustainable growth in the trade and investments between Indonesia and the Benelux.
Win-win solutions are based on complimentary operations with common visions that are developed with and within a wide supporting ground. BIA aims to foster this supporting ground by focusing on business development with input for government policies and understanding.
Nowadays, technology immensely determine the implementation to serve the interests for all stakeholders. In BIA, we target to continue to map out an understanding of and for different views/opinions/interests. Specifically of those that seek a sustainable development of trade/industrial/financing activities between the Benelux region and Indonesia.
Indonesia is a country with a young and growing population. It is a democratic, relatively stable, large society with multicultural groups and languages, united under one republic and one common language. Benelux region in Europe is growing closer together and has an ageing population with high focus on service and technology within their economic goals.
Indonesia, with its improved education, needs more employment in industrial and agricultural whilst slowly moving away from a number of mining activities, such as coal. Furthermore, environmental sustainability is a focus that is becoming more pertinent.
Indonesia and the Benelux are complementary in many aspects; BIA aims to take this compatibility and build new as well as expand existing partnerships between companies and organisations in the two regions. BIA intends to provide know-how and expertise through exchange of information, introduction services, legal and finance supports.
Vision:
To be amongst the most relevant organization in business (trade & investments) between Benelux and Indonesian business interests. This by fostering the creation and expansion of businesses between Benelux region and Indonesia, guiding companies and organisations with integrity, transparency, and independency while upholding the values of democracy, environmental sustainability, and human rights.
Mission:
- Actively expanding BIA’s network and outreach with individuals, companies, Embassies and Representatives, to effectively foster businesses;
- Guiding newcomers and interested companies to start businesses through information by efficient and laser sharp introduction services;
- Providing clear and adequate neutral regular flow of privileged information.
