“When I came to the U.S. in 2014 for a corporate role, I was first introduced to NACCSE as a presenter. What I discovered was far more than just a professional network; it was a vibrant community, deeply rooted in Dutch-American collaboration. Many of our members have connections stretching back decades, creating a strong, supportive foundation that blends Dutch entrepreneurial spirit with American innovation—and, of course, a touch of Southern hospitality.
Together, we foster a unique environment that celebrates both directness and warmth, reflecting the powerful ties that have always connected our two nations.”
Our values reflect both Dutch sensibility and an understanding of the U.S. market, providing a foundation for meaningful impact
Our mission is to support and strengthen the economic ties between the Netherlands and the Southeastern United States by providing Dutch and American companies with the resources, and connections they need to thrive in a global market. To empower Dutch and American businesses with the connections, resources, and support they need to succeed. By facilitating strong relationships, we help our members unlock new opportunities, drive innovation, and make lasting impacts in their industries.
Founded in Atlanta in 2010 by Richard Sheinis and Bernard VanderLande, NACCSE was established to bridge the gap between Dutch businesses and the diverse opportunities in the Southeastern United States. Our founding vision was to create a platform that connects Dutch and American companies, helping them understand and navigate the unique aspects of each market.
Our history is one of continuous growth and adaptation, shaped by the evolving needs of our community. Through events, strategic resources, and advocacy, we support Dutch businesses as they expand into the U.S. and empower American companies with Dutch connections. We provide essential insights into the cultural and regulatory landscapes, ensuring our members feel confident as they pursue new transatlantic opportunities.
What began as a small group of visionary leaders has grown into a vibrant network of businesses, professionals, budding entrepreneurs and even students across diverse sectors. Today, we serve as a trusted connector and facilitator, helping our members achieve sustainable growth and success across borders.
Our dedicated team of leaders and professionals is committed to guiding NACCSE's mission and ensuring that our members receive the best possible support and opportunities.
