FROM THE
CHAMBER BOARD
Chamber President Raoul Behr
Dear Visionary Entrepreneurs,
Welcome to the first edition of our E-Newsletter for this year! As we wrap up a noticeable year of growth and resilience, this edition reflects on the highlights of the past year while setting our sights on the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. I am thankful for the trust that the Curaçao Chamber Board has unanimously given to me and our Vice President Mr. Ralph Ottenheim to continue another term as respectively President and Vice Presdent of the
Curaçao Chamber Board for the year 2025.
We started off the year with sessions to empower entrepreneurs and youngsters interested in entrepreneurship on topics of empowerment, growth journey, administration, taxes as well as discovering the power of AI: topics for today and for tomorrow,
with practical and adaptable tips.
As high paced as this year started, it started as a new year filled with potential; we’re excited to offer you key developments that open doors for Curaçao’s business community. The Dutch Caribbean mission to Colombia presents fresh prospects for entrepreneurs looking to expand their reach, while our newly introduced "Business Opportunities" section will spotlight valuable insights for growth, be it locally or internationally.
In line with Curaçao’s evolving financial landscape, we highlight the exchange procedures for the Caribbean Guilder, an essential step in strengthening economic stability. Additionally, we’re fostering global connections through meetings with international companies eager to collaborate with Curaçao businesses.
Education remains a pillar of success, and our upcoming webinars will provide the knowledge and motivation to help you achieve your entrepreneurial goals in 2025. With innovation, partnerships, and resilience, this year promises exciting opportunities for those ready to seize them. Let’s make 2025 a year of growth, connection, and success!
