Chapter Amsterdam

By GOPIO Holland | 0 Comment
Our organisation

The Amsterdam Chapter was officially inaugurated in November 2004 with officials from the local authorities, the Indian Embassy and from GOPIO Europe. Based on the relative silence of the international link between GOPIO and its Dutch Indians the new chapter was initiated in the Dutch capital. The aim was to revive the international leverage of global indians by establishing a innovative approach learning from the past of working with or within Indian associations.

Amsterdam Area

Amsterdam is the largest city and capital of the Netherlands. From its earliest days, Amsterdam has been a bustling hub of commerce that welcomed other cultures with open arms.  The area (Amsterdam and Amstelveen) has a significant population of people of Indian origin and is home to a large selection of Indian events and celebrations. We are proud to have a GOPIO chapter in this wonderful city.

Amsterdam and India share a special bond. There has always been a constant engagement between Amsterdam and India on multiple social, economic, technology and other fronts such as entertainment.
Since 2006, Amsterdam Gemeente (Municipality)  has been working towards attracting companies from India. This has included multiple delegations to India led by the honourable Mayor of Amsterdam. Thanks to this effort, many Indian companies have chosen the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. The number of Indian companies present in the region has increased fivefold in recent years with more than 60 % of all the Indian companies in the Netherlands. Indian companies such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys Technology have set up their European and Benelux headquarters in the Amsterdam Area.
This automatically reflects the importance of this region for the thousands of Indian expats and knowledge migrants working and living here.

Focus Areas of the Chapter :
This chapter currently focuses on the following areas:
Business Development on the Indo-Dutch platforms (Round Tables, Webinars, India Cafe)
Cultural  exchange
Thematic Discussions on Political themes
Developments in Life Sciences

What is Gopio?

GOPIO’s initial mission was established to network the global Indian community and to monitor and address the interests and concerns of overseas Indians people of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). GOPIO, since its inception, has been creating awareness and promoting understanding of issues of concern — social, cultural, educational, economic, or political of the NRI/PIO communities around the globe. GOPIO also provides an active and well recognized platform for dialogue and discussion to the worldwide Indian Diaspora and to further advance that objective, GOPIO has been at the forefront to network the globally spread overseas Indian community by regularly organizing conferences in various parts of the world.
