The Chamber is intended to serve as a platform for strengthening
institutional and commercial ties, supporting market engagement,
and facilitating cooperation between companies operating across
both markets. Commenting on the establishment of the Chamber and
its future role in strengthening bilateral business relations, the
founding Board members shared their perspectives:


Arjan Bos, Chairman of the Chamber, added:
“The economic relationship between Azerbaijan and the
Netherlands already provides a strong foundation for further
cooperation. The Chamber has been established to support businesses
through stronger connectivity, practical engagement, and long-term
partnership development. We believe this platform will help

connections in both Azerbaijan and the Netherlands, Chamber is
uniquely positioned to help bridge opportunities, connecting
Azerbaijan’s strong growth track record and ambitions with Dutch
expertise and global platforms. We are privileged to start this
journey together and believe it will grow into a long-lasting and
successful partnership.”


Paul Gielen, Board Member of the Chamber,
noted: “The establishment of this Chamber is about
more than strengthening economic ties. It is about building a
trusted professional community based on cooperation, mutual
respect, and shared values. The success of the Chamber will
ultimately be defined by its community, and, through cooperation,
openness, and shared ambition, we are confident in creating a
platform that not only supports business development but also
strengthens the relationships and mutual understanding between
Azerbaijan and the Netherlands.”


The Azerbaijan-Netherlands Chamber of Commerce welcomes
organizations interested in contributing to the further development
of bilateral business relations and looks forward to supporting
future initiatives that strengthen economic cooperation between
