Dragons Businessclub Christmas Charity Event 2019 is made possible by: 

Joint event by Dragons Businessclub and Chinese Kredietunie Nederland

Thursday 21 November – World restaurant A1 Plaza, Amersfoort

Dragons Businessclub and Chinese Kredietunie Nederland (Chinese Credit Union The Netherlands) are delighted to invite you for this special event on Thursday 21 November in Amersfoort. This event will cover some of the modern ways of financing for and by Chinese and Dutch entrepreneurs. What are the possibilities nowadays to invest successfully in projects and also get a good return? Savings at the bank with very low interest rates has resulted in low interest income in the recent years and investing in shares carries more risks than a good return. Some new interesting developments such as crowdfunding and credit union funding have started to find their way to the Dutch market.

We organize this special event regarding the chances and possibilities of crowdfunding and funding via a credit union. This is a joint event between Chinese Kredietunie Nederland and Dragons Businessclub. This event starts from 17:00.
