Geography

GMBS focuses on supporting, promoting and uniting business interests between The Netherlands/EU and the Middle and Far East.

Bridging function. Internationalisation means operating in a different business setting and cultural context. By exploring and conquering markets, our value lies in the word “bridge”; to bridge differences incorporated in your market approach, project design, partner choice and general strategy.

European Perspective

GMBS helps internationalisation initiatives of Dutch organisations aimed at the Middle and Far East regions. We do so by initiating or guiding your business development activities, e.g. when you want to export, set up a project, look for a business partner, or wish to expand your market share in Asia.

Special focus: Indonesia. This country has our special attention. You can use our more tha 30 years of knowledge and experience gained in Indonesia, both with government and private businesses alike. Founder Maarten Smit speaks the language fluently which makes representation and negotiations transparent and effective.

Eastern Perspective

Asian companies can count on our support to make an appropriate and effective market entry into Western Europe. This can be in the form of conducting market studies, organising trade fair participation, and match-making, to name a few.

Representation. In exceptional cases, an agency role for one or more products can be assumed by GMBS.  However, GMBS will only act as agent for products or services from companies that adhere to corporate social responsibility principles. A comprehensive orientation, personal meetings and product training will precede representation by GMBS.

Sectors

GMBS serves both government and private companies. Although GMBS specialises in green sectors, with agriculture and horticulture in its centre, GMBS also adds value to clients active in the periphery thereof.

Private Sector

GMBS International assists Dutch small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in international business. Where market entry or expansion/roll-out trajectories have to be initiated or supported, you can count on us; we share our knowledge, experience and critical perspective on issues together with you.

Governments benefit from GMBS in particular by its independent position in guiding internationalisation processes of companies, both individually and in clustered context. Our strategic insight and extensive experience in emerging markets can be deployed for companies to more effectively benefit from government support programs. Further relevant services rendered are, project formulation, management and administration, in addition to (re) formulation of market-sector strategies and policy planning.
