Founding years
Leading Dutch companies such as Ahold, ING, NN, CTP, and Business Lease enter the Czech market and formally establish the Netherlands Czech Chamber of Commerce (NCCC).
2020 – 2010
Supporting EU Integration
As the Czech Republic develops as an emerging market, the NCCC collaborates with international chambers and agencies to support its accession to the European Union.
2010 – 2020
Growth & Diversification
The NCCC and its members take the lead in sustainability and innovation, with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) becoming a central focus.

The 30th anniversary is marked by a benefit evening supporting Ukraine. The Creative Heroes Award is launched, and networking evolves into purposeful collaboration.
