Road2Germany - 6 oktober 2015 Windesheim Zwolle

Bron: KvK

Duitsland is een geweldig land om zaken in te doen. De Duitse economie is de grootste van Europa, de mensen zijn professioneel en staan over het algemeen positief tegenover samenwerking. Maar wat niet iedereen weet, is dat zakelijk Duitsland er vele gewoonten en tradities op nahoudt. Om met u ervaringen uit te wisselen en te informeren over de kansen in Duitsland organiseren we Road2Germany

Succesvol zakendoen in Duitsland?
Weet dan dat Duitsers experts zijn op het gebied van planning, dat groene idealen door veel Duitsers worden gewaardeerd en dat Duitsers, als het op werk aankomt, over het algemeen formeel en introvert zijn. En Duitsers zijn, net als Nederlanders dol, op de eigen taal. Zakendoen in Duitsland biedt veel kansen voor wie de zakelijke cultuur goed begrijpt en daar handig op inspeelt. Als u daarbij ook meer weet over  de kansen in Zuid-Duitsland, de juridische aspecten kent, weet hoe u een webwinkel kunt opzetten, een eigen vestiging kunt oprichten etc., dan bent u anderen een aantal stappen voor.

Leren van ervaringen
Wilt u (mee) profiteren van deze kansen en overweegt u zaken te gaan doen in of met Duitsland? Kom dan naar de bijeenkomst Road2Germany op 6 oktober in Zwolle en laat u informeren /inspireren door ondernemers die reeds ervaring hebben in Duitsland. Bovendien is er volop gelegenheid tot netwerken.

In het programma zijn 2 rondes met 9 thematafels opgenomen. U dient zich per ronde voor één van de thematafels aan te melden. In beide rondes worden dezelfde workshops gegeven

100 concrete innovaties van het Nederlandse mkb in 2015

Bron: KvK 21-08-2015

Donderdagmiddag 20 augustus zijn de 100 meest innovatieve bedrijven van Nederland ‘spetterend’ bekendgemaakt tijdens SAIL Amsterdam 2015. Een panel van innovatie experts maakte deze selectie uit een groot aantal inzendingen voor een notering in de jaarlijkse MKB Innovatie Top 100.  Alle nominaties zijn beoordeeld op impact voor de branche en samenleving, originaliteit, verkrijgbaarheid en gerealiseerde omzet en groeipotentie.

Aan de MKB Innovatie Top 100, de mooiste innovatie-etalage, is bewust geen prijs verbonden. De kracht van het initiatief is te laten zien waartoe het Nederlandse mkb in staat is. De complete lijst in alfabetische volgorde vind je hier.

Op 1 oktober  a.s. maakt een jury onder voorzitterschap van Ruud Koornstra (Tendris Holding) de exacte notering van elk bedrijf in de MKB Innovatie Top 100 bekend, tijdens de Dag van de Innovatie. Dan is ook duidelijk welk bedrijf in 2015 de nummer 1 positie inneemt en zich het meest innovatieve bedrijf van Nederland mag noemen. Meer over de gave Dag van de Innovatie, op vijf locaties, vind je hier.

Innovatie zorgt voor groei Innovatieve ondernemers strijden elk jaar voor een plaats in de MKB Innovatie Top 100. En niet zonder reden: uit onderzoek van de Kamer van Koophandel onder de bedrijven die de afgelopen jaren in de Top 100 hebben gestaan, blijkt dat innovatie zorgt voor groei. Alle Top 100 bedrijven zagen hun winst toenemen, namen extra personeel aan en werden internationaal actiever. Hierdoor is een plek in de MKB Innovatie Top 100 een goede graadmeter voor succes gebleken. In de Top 100 van 2015 is de provincie Zuid Holland met maar liefst 20 bedrijven het best vertegenwoordigd, gevolgd door Noord Holland en Brabant. De meeste innovaties zijn afkomstig uit de ICT-sector.

De MKB Innovatie Top 100 wordt gepresenteerd door de Kamer van Koophandel, in samenwerking met De Financiële Telegraaf, Atradius, Capgemini, NLO, Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland en TNO.

Green Tech Week 2015 - Themadag Circulaire Economie

Op woensdag 7 oktober a.s. organiseert de Kamer van Koophandel een themamiddag rondom circulaire economie. Bij circulaire economie is de insteek dat producten na hun levenscyclus weer eenvoudig gescheiden kunnen worden naar grondstoffen voor hergebruik, zonder dat daarbij materiaal verloren gaat.

Laat u deze middag inspireren door diverse ondernemers van interessante bedrijven waarbij circulaire economie in de bedrijfsvoering is opgenomen. Welke kansen zijn er voor u als ondernemer? Wat zijn de gevolgen voor uw onderneming? En wat is de juiste te voeren strategie? U komt het allemaal te weten op deze middag, waarbij we te gast zijn bij de AVR afval- en energiecentrale in Duiven.
  • Toekomstvisie van het bedrijventerrein Innofase en de AVR afval- en energiecentrale inclusief bedrijfsrondleiding.
  • Inspirerende sessies met ondernemers van bedrijven die voorop lopen op het gebied van circulaire economie.
  • Een antwoord op de vraag; Welke strategieën zijn succesvol toe te passen binnen circulaire economie?
  • Netwerken en afsluitende borrel.

De volgende organisaties geven mede invulling aan het programma: AVR Duiven, BB-Lightconcepts, Texperium, Interface, DEC Liemers, Innofase, CIRCO en Douwe Jan Joustra namens RVO.nl over het project RACE [http://www.circulairondernemen.nl/over-ons].

Aansluitend aan de presentaties en inspiratiesessies verzorgt AVR Duiven een rondleiding door de indrukwekkende afval- en energiecentrale. Uiteraard is er gedurende het programma en de informele afsluiting ook voldoende ruimte om te netwerken en nieuwe zakelijke relaties te leggen.

Waarom zou u de circulaire economie thema middag moeten bezoeken:
  • Circulaire economie heeft de toekomst en is een groeiende ontwikkeling door schaarste aan grondstoffen. Het biedt daarom diverse kansen voor u als ondernemer.
  • U krijgt inzichten van bedrijven die circulaire economie reeds in hun bedrijfsvoering hebben opgenomen.
  • U krijgt de mogelijkheid om uw kennis te vergroten en u aan te sluiten bij bestaande initiatieven.

Tijdens de Green Tech Week, van 5 t/m 10 oktober, worden er tal van excursies, workshops en congressen georganiseerd in Oost-Nederland. De Kamer van Koophandel is één van de organisatoren en initiatiefnemers van de Green Tech Week. Voor meer informatie over de andere activiteiten kijkt u op www.greentechweek.nl .

LET OP: U dient bij binnekomst in het bezit te zijn van een geldig legitimatie bewijs. Tevens wordt u vooraf aangemeld als deelnemer en komt u op de deelnemerslijst. Indien u niet bent aangemeld kunnen wij helaas geen toegang geven.


Sprekers op deze middag zijn:
  • AVR Duiven, Dhr. Robert Hageman zal stil staan bij de AVR Duiven en het proces van verwerking. Veel restproducten worden na verbranding uit de asresten gehaald voor recycling zoals onder andere metalen. Warmte wordt gebruikt voor stadsverwarming en op het industrieterrein wordt samengewerkt met andere bedrijven voor een optimale benutting van reststromen. In een circulaire economie zou er geen verbranding nodig moeten zijn, echter zal dit niet voorkomen kunnen worden.
  • BB Lightconcepts Doetinchem oprichter Dhr. Chiel Bekker. Als u bij IKEA parkeert, is er een grote kans dat de verlichting is geleverd door BB Lightconcepts. Het bedrijf groeit sterk ook internationaal met een een product dat zeer energie zuinig is, een lange levensduur heeft en na gebruik te scheiden is naar diverse grondstoffen. Chiel vertelt wat dit heeft betekend voor de onderneming, het ontwikkelingsproces en de markt.
  • Texperium Haaksbergen, Dhr. Peter Bos verteld over de kansen om textielproducten hoogwaardig te verwerken naar nieuwe producten. Wist u dat 30% van alle nieuwe textiel nooit wordt verkocht in de winkel en meestal wordt verbrand? Met de vezels van deze en gebruikte producten kunnen nieuwe producten worden gemaakt waardoor er een enorme verlaging is van de milieubelasting in de teelt, productie en verwerking van textiel. Texperium is internationaal actief om hergebruik van textiel vezels te organiseren en te verwerken naar nieuwe producten.
  • Interface Scherpenzeel, Dhr. Ferdy Thoonen. Als wereldwijd fabrikant van tapijttegels en koploper op het gebied van circulaire economie, is Interface al vanaf 1994 actief met hun Mission Zero. Dit houdt in dat ze hun totale negatieve impact voor 2020 tot nul willen reduceren. De resultaten tot  u toe spreken voor zich. De productielocatie in Scherpenzeel geldt als beste jongetje van de klas. Hoe pakt Interface dit aan? Laat u inspireren door dit praktijkvoorbeeld
  • CIRCO, Dhr. Douwe Jan Joustra verteld namens RVO over het project RACE. Welke bedrijfsstrategieën zijn er als je besluit om te gaan voor producten of diensten in de circulaire industrie? Wat als je omzet komt door productgebruik en niet door productverkoop? Welke keuzes heb je om je doelgroep te benaderen? Hoe ga je verdienmodellen ontwikkelen en het in de markt zetten?

OPMERKINGEN:
  • Er kunnen nog mutaties worden gedaan aan de inhoud, we zijn nog in gesprek met een aantal bedrijven voor deelname aan deze middag. 
  • Let op sommige presentaties worden in parallel sessies gegeven.
