WHY DOT?

FACTS

WHAT CLIENTS, PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS SAY?

”During my tenure in the Philippines I experienced how DOT facilitated several single-company economic missions to the Philippines, market entry assessment and facilitation. As an embassy we followed DOT as it is one of the Netherlands-rooted companies active in the Philippine market. The embassy recognizes the importance of collaboration between governmental institutions and the private sector especially to facilitate sustainable economic growth, and so we sought cooperation with businesses like DOT. The collaboration with DOT was experienced as collaborative, open, respectful, positive and DOT is always looking for opportunities how to make things work. I hope DOT will continue to contribute and support small to large sized companies in doing business in and with the Philippines in such a way that DOT keeps contributing in creating jobs and to the environment like DOT did during my tenure.”
Her Excellency Marion Derckx, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the Philippines 2014-2018

History

DOT’s activities have their roots in India in 2011 when Monique Wisse, employed as business development and project manager, participated in an international trade mission. The many opportunities she observed between people, businesses and markets were her drivers to take action and think out how opportunities could be realized.

While working in India she experienced that turning these opportunities into reality for a company without representation in-country could be challenging. Especially taking into account developing a business relation in a new country with a different (business) culture, local market opportunities and constraints, time difference and physical geographical distance.

Moreover Monique is interested in the activities of stakeholders involved and to get an understanding how value could be added to the existing environment to make international business ambitions happen.

It became a dream to play a key role in connecting people, businesses and markets and to actually make it happen. How DOT can add value is by providing over 5 years of experience in the Philippines, canalizing knowledge and understanding of the local market and being locally present .

Since 2011 Monique has been working to make DOT’s international business mission happen. In 2015 this resulted in opening a company in The Philippines. ‘Today DOT has been assisting companies of medium, large and corporate size in realizing - part of - their international business ambitions by sharing experiences, developing knowledge continuously and implementing client projects while being locally present.’
