Postillion Hotels joins Code-V

Postillion Hotels has joined Code-V, an initiative by a group of prominent public and private organisations that aims to create a more inclusive entrepreneurial climate for women in the Netherlands. As a partner, Postillion Hotels will facilitate live meetings, such as conferences and meetings, for Code-V to contribute to this alliance of influential organisations committed to promoting equal entrepreneurial opportunities for women. Besides Postillion Hotels, Code-V welcomed 18 more signatories on Monday 3 June. The signing event took place prior to the conference of MKB Financing Foundation with the theme 'Mind the Gap' at Landgoed de Horst in Driebergen.

Launched on 12 December 2023, Code-V facilitates an ecosystem in the Netherlands to increase the growth potential of women entrepreneurs. Code-V aims to create a more inclusive entrepreneurial climate for women in the Netherlands by increasing access to finance, sharing essential knowledge and reducing prejudices that hinder women entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, 83 organisations have joined the initiative.

The cooperation between Postillion Hotels and Code-V arose during the preparations for the NXT MICE event, which took place on 23 May at the Postillion Convention Centre in The Hague. Experts and professionals from the conference and event industry came together that day to share their knowledge, experiences and vision. Chantal Korteweg - Director Social Impact and Inclusive Banking at ABN AMRO and initiator of Code-V - participated as an expert on diversity and inclusiveness.

Erik-Jan Ginjaar, general manager Postillion Hotels: "Chantal's story inspired us enormously. There is so much room for improvement in the field of diversity and inclusiveness - also in the MICE industry. By becoming a partner of Code-V, we take our responsibility and want to promote equal opportunities."

The signatories who joined Code-V on 3 June are:
Financiers: Invest International, ABN Amro Asset Based Finance, BLOOM, Freelance Factoring, NL Investeert, Mogelijk, Scaleup Capital, No Such Ventures, Innovatiefonds Noord-Holland, ECFG and Collin Crowdfund.
Partners & Supporters: Postillion Hotels, Hogeschool Saxion, Investeerders.nl, Fidonna, De Zaak van Advocaten, Partners at Work, Business Women Netherlands and WomensBizz.

These organisations reinforce Code-V's mission to increase funding opportunities and knowledge sharing for women entrepreneurs and underscore their commitment to creating a level playing field for all entrepreneurs in the Netherlands. This will be done through interventions, data reports and investments.
