Nils Eekhout talk with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has today received the ‘Groeiagenda’ (Agenda for Growth) for entrepreneurship in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Market Hall in Rotterdam. During the ceremony Nils Eekhout – director of Octatube – was one of three entrepreneurs who entered into dialogue with Rutte about the new Agenda for Growth of the SME.



Rutte has received the Agenda for Growth from the chairman of SME Netherlands, Michaël van Straalen. The Prime Minister also gave a speech, and there was a tour through the Market Hall.

The cable facades of the Market Hall, realized by Octatube, are an example of one the pillars of the Agenda for Growth: innovation. In addition, internationalization is also of great importance, as illustrated by Nils Eekhout in the video below (in Dutch).



The Agenda for Growth is an initiative of the Royal Association MKB-Nederland and the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (known as VNO-NCW).
