The trip brought together Dutch and Japanese organizations, experts, and professionals at the very locations where developments are actually taking place.
The occasion: Connecting through knowledge and international cooperation
Dujat has focused on stimulating cooperation between the Netherlands and Japan for many years. An international study trip offers a powerful tool for this: by traveling together, visiting companies, and sharing knowledge, space is created for depth, new perspectives, and sustainable relationships.
The goal of this trip was clear:
- strengthening the connection between members
- gaining knowledge about innovation and business operations in Japan
- deepening networking and cooperation between the Netherlands and Japan
Our role: Guiding in an international context
Dujat and BARENTSZEN have been working together for more than ten years. Within this networking and study trip, our focus was on the logistical and organizational foundation, so that content and connection could take center stage.
Our services included:
- hotels and transfers
- train guidance and assistance
- English-speaking guides and local support
- luggage transfers between locations
- participant registration and invoicing
Thanks to this structure, the trip as a whole was solid, allowing participants to focus entirely on the content, meetings, and the program.

Want to gain knowledge where your sector is in motion?
We help organizations deepen knowledge within their own industry or sector, at the places where innovation and practice meet. By bringing professionals into contact with experts, companies, and peers, insights are gained that go beyond what you get from a report or online session.
No isolated visits, but programs with a clear substantive line and a logical structure, developed in close cooperation with you.
Please contact us to brainstorm or view more examples of how we bring knowledge, networking, and interaction together in (inter)national programs.
