Special programmes
Focus on Russia, Dutch Energy Solutions and 2g@there Brasil are 2g@there programmes of the EVD that aim to support companies for an extended period of three years in certain markets. 

* Focus on Russia
'Focus on Russia' is a joint initiative of the Dutch maritime industry organisations and the Agency for International Business and Cooperation (EVD). In the view of major opportunities in the Russian shipbuilding market, the Maritime 2g@there-programme has been set-up by the EVD with support of the Dutch Maritime Network and three branch organisations, HME, HISWA and IRO.
The aim of the 'Focus on Russia' project is to represent and promote Dutch maritime technology in Russia, to act as the first contact point between the companies and the customer in Russia, to support the companies in collecting and analysing market information and to aid the companies that seek opportunities for production in Russia. We offer our members a network of expertise related to maritime matters and keep the industry updated on all developments in the field of shipping. Our philosophy revolves around three terms: ‘No nonsense’, ‘dynamic’ and ‘maritime’. For more information visit www.focusonrussia.com
