Concept

Since September 2009 a group of 20 renowned West-Flemish food producing companies come together once a month to share experiences and knowledge about doing business in a global context.

This group includes 20 unique (non-competitive) companies who wish to exchange experiences.

The Businessclub is supported by two experienced 'godfathers' who moderate, redirect and stimulate new ideas/

The godfathers are Ignace Libeert (Italo-Suisse) and Willem ter Heerdt (ING).

To inspire and motivate as much as possible, the meetings always take place on different locations and treat another subject.

The subjects are choosen by the members themselves during a 2 yearly evaluation and are stimulated by the economic climate.

Packaging as a marketing tool
How to work with agents and distributors?
