A Consortium of 12 companies led by Alliance Plus is among the winners of the European tender procedure of the Matchmaking Facility. This was announced by EVD International, an agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

DUVILLA is part of the Alliance Plus Consortium that was selected for 15 economic sectors, including agriculture, forestry, environment, infrastructure, mining and tourism. The Matchmaking Facility was created to encourage matchmaking between small and medium enterprises from developing countries and Dutch or other European business partners. The goal is to stimulate joint business relations (investment, trade, knowledge transfer) that will strengthen the private sector in developing countries and emerging markets.
