As an FHI member, you are not alone. FHI represents the interests of technology companies to governments, politicians, and civil society organizations. In this way, we ensure that the voice of our sector is heard and that policy aligns with entrepreneurs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FHI is affiliated with MKB-Nederland and works closely with VNO-NCW.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, we maintain direct contact with Members of Parliament, government officials, other trade associations, and relevant parties from the business community. In doing so, we draw attention to the practices of our members.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All Dutch members of FHI are automatically members of MKB-Nederland. FHI is represented on the executive board of MKB-Nederland by Ren\u00e9 Dijkstra. This is where trade associations from various sectors come together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
