MVO 2024 - A conference for 'awake entrepreneurs'

Authors : Carola Houtekamer , Merijn Rengers Published on April 12, 2024

SME conference Abroad is very attractive for many "socially critical" entrepreneurs, as became apparent during the 'Masterclass for Entrepreneurs'. “There is still a lot to come in the world, you just have to be prepared.”

'Many of my friends are not so outspoken, but I know that they also want to leave. I have less difficulty saying it out loud: I've had it with the Netherlands,” says Michel Maljers – jacket over his pullover, clock on his wrist – in the hall of Pathé Ede, right on the A12 highway. “Things are not going well in our country, with all those rules, with the integration that doesn't work, with the sky-high taxes. And there is still a lot to come in the world, you just have to be prepared.” The Rotterdammer barely stands out above the thousand entrepreneurs who loudly discuss the state of the country at standing tables in the foyer of the Pathé cinema. The Netherlands is not in a good position, say the SMEs during the first break of this 'Masterclass for Entrepreneurs'. Abroad beckons. Hence the theme of the day: 'Springboard for Departure'. Maljers, who ran a globally operating casino company for 15 years, moved into real estate, but is now mainly working on his new business platform Putiton-e (pronounced: Put it on E), is standing at a standing table with Theo Hartman from Bergen op Zoom. 

Hartman has a company that sets up temporary construction sites. He started his own business nine years ago, after leaving his old boss with a bag of money. “I think I pay too much tax,” says Hartman. “I hope to become wiser about how this can be done less. Maybe abroad, although I'm not sure if my wife wants to leave too.” A few standing tables further away is a farming couple from Flevoland with the same issue. Recently they suddenly heard that their fields were 'areas contaminated with nutrients'. Even more rules, even more resistance, it is no longer feasible. They are also in real estate, but they have decided that no more cents will go to Dutch investments. He now wants to go to South America, but she doesn't want to go that far away. Southern Europe is still manageable.
