Willem4 Foundation warming up meeting
The Nederlands, 16 Augustus 2010
The Curaçao-based Willem4 Foundation held its first informal W4 warm-up meeting on Monday 16 August 2010. This networking reception was attended by more than 60 people from a wide range of backgrounds, including investors, business people and representatives of the university, education, healthcare, agricultural, media, sport, renewable energy, government, logistics, transport and maritime sectors.
What these people have in common is that they endorse the foundation's goals and are keen to start working to promote sustainable economic and social development.
