Top Women in Business &
Government is a proud supporter
of:
The South African –
Netherlands
Chamber of Commerce (SANEC)
“For recent events organised
by SANEC we have turned to the Top Women in Business and
Government publication to ensure a proper match between
women entrepreneurs from the Netherlands and those in
South
Africa. This tool
proved invaluable in linking profiles; an exercise that
has resulted in new business relations between women in
both countries to such an extent that an ongoing network
has emerged.” – Mar-Loes Mantoua: General
Manager of SANEC

Entrepreneurs Network
(SAWEN)
