Open Coffee
Open Coffee meetings are network meetings for entrepeneurs. The concept has been around for several years. In The Netherlands over 20.000 members are active at over 100 locations. Bridge started Open Coffees in Alkmaar, Hoorn and Schagen and is part of the board of Open Coffee Club Netherlands. Because of the donations made by Open Coffee members Bridge is able to support projects in India among others.
…also in India
Bridge started an Open Coffee in Kochi, India in the spring of 2010. People are not so used to networking there as they are in The Netherlands. Still we wanted to set up these meetings to support entrepreneurship. This way we can contribute to the country’s growth.
Right now regular meetings that attract more and more people are being held at five locations in India. These meetings are a little different from the Dutch ones. There are often two guest speakers and the theme of entrepreneurship is central to every meeting.

Talk About IT
Talk About IT is our platform for IT knowledge exchange. We want to work together with professionals from the corporate and IT sector to bridge the gap between questions about business strategies and their technical solutions. That is why we bring suppliers, service providers and users of IT services and products together.
The theme? During every event we will focus on a different IT related topic with presentations and discussions.
Talk About IT is an online community on LinkedIn and regular meetings are being held in The Netherlands in the cities Amsterdam, Den Haag, Eindhoven and Rotterdam.
