BeCommerce B2B Summit 2020
Tuesday 18th of February 2020 from 14:00 to 18:00 |
Europark-Noord 9, 9100 Sint-Niklaas (Van Hoecke Sint-Niklaas)
B2B commerce is becoming more digital every year, and has in fact become a substantial part of the e-commerce industry. More and more B2B enterprises decide to launch their own webshop in order to drive growth and face up to the competition. The online potential for B2B players is enormous and we expect this potential to grow even more in the upcoming years.
This year, the B2B Summit is taking place at the Van Hoecke headquaters. This Belgian family business based in Sint-Niklaas is the market leader in the Benelux in the distribution of hinges, hinged door systems and drawer systems of the Austrian brand Blum. In addition, Van Hoecke distributes drawer and kitchen accessories under its own brand ORGALUX.
