'EAT OR BE EATEN: 'The Art of the Dutch Deal'
Eat or be eaten seems to be the motto these days. Dutch companies are often a target for (foreign) financial and strategic buyers who are searching for ‘candies’. Is the solution to find legalistic protection to seal ourselves off or should we fully play the game to win? Are we as a country ready and willing to win? 

How strong and entrepreneurial are our companies? Do you have the right people? How do you set up and maintain an effective M&A team? How do you organize the M&A processes? Do they make enough profits and take enough risks or are they sitting too much on their cash? Are they trying to hard to make the world a better place instead of making money for their shareholders? And are they negotiating on the right terms and getting the best out of the deal?

What can foreign investors add to our companies and how can Dutch companies seize more of their foreign competitors? Do we have the right attitude and leadership to win? What are our greatest assets and what are our greatest weaknesses? 

During the event we are going to talk with top dealmakers from outside The Netherlands and Dutch corporates.  Join leading dealmakers and share your experiences during the Corporate M&A Forum 'The Art of the Dutch Deal'.
