ABIE Netherlands is the focal point for Australian business professionals residing and working in the Netherlands. With events running throughout the year, alongside quarterly dinners, we provide a relaxed and stimulating forum for making connections and sharing experiences, while also strengthening links to the motherland.
ABIE was established in London in 1975 to foster Australian business interests across Europe. Today, there are ABIE chapters in most European countries: some focused on Australian business and others on individual Australians in business.
ABIE Netherlands patron is the Australian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Mr. Neuhaus. Our membership is drawn from diverse business sectors including CPG companies, Finance and Banking startups. Members hail from companies including Shell, Philips, Royal FrieslandCampina and ING.
