1. Businessclub Nijmegen

Businessclub Nijmegen (BCN) has existed for 20 years. BCN is an active club of entrepreneurs who trust in each other's abilities and genuinely want to help each other progress: this is where ideas are exchanged, connections are made, and experiences and networks are shared. Their members meet every first Tuesday evening of the month at a different location. Besides a snack, some drinks, and good conversation partners, BCN organises activities that vary from a company visit, laughter therapy, playing games or increasing marketing and sales insights. BCN has about 30 members and is open to new ones. Contact them here to participate in one of their meetings without obligation.

2. Ondernemersvereniging Waalsprong

The Ondernemersvereniging Waalsprong wants to look after the interests of all connected entrepreneurs in the broad Waalsprong (Nijmegen-North, Lent, Oosterhout, Slijk-Ewijk, Ressen and Bemmel). They develop visions, comments, and actions for subjects and policy areas that are relevant for these entrepreneurs. The association's efforts are aimed at creating the best possible business climate for its members. By means of (administrative) participation in organisations, lobbying, and contacts with the media, among other things, they exert influence on municipal, provincial, and other policymakers and implementers. In addition to these efforts, there’s also room for relaxation, meeting each other, and doing educational or informative work. Are you interested?
