Our #GlobalTrade Outlook Series webinar, a joint event between #MerseyMaritime @WUBusiness @MaritimeUK and @NBSOmanchester is underway. We are focusing on opportunities between the #UK and #Netherlands today. Follow this #thread for more information. 
We are delighted to be joined by the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the #Netherlands to the #UnitedKingdom @KvanOosterom as our keynote speaker this morning. His Excellency will focus on #Brexit matters: the current state of play, the reality on the ground and future opportunities.
"The #Netherlands will continue to invest in our friendship with the UK, our family ties, our cultural links, our business connections, including in the #maritime industry and our strong naval co-operation." A positive message from @KvanOosterom to our #GlobalTrade webinar event.
An upbeat message from our speaker! The UK/Netherlands economies are deeply interwoven, with some 22,500 Dutch companies doing business here. This relationship will continue, including in the #maritime sector as we address the #NetZero challenge & the modernisation of shipping.
The webinar moves to an expert #economic update from @WUBusiness Head of Market Insights, Nawaz Ali. How will #COVID19 continue to impact the economy in 2021? Will growth return this year? What impact on #trade relations? Just some of the topics being discussed.
We are grateful to our panel for their time in offering their take and insights on the discussions we've been having this morning. The crucial importance of ongoing #UK #NL trade and co-operation is a clear theme; many of the panellists are directly involved in such activity.
The panel discussion concludes with a focus on what the opportunities for future #trade might be and where. The commitment to furthering the #UK #Netherlands relationship is an important priority for contributors but in which sectors? #innovation #technology #maritime
