This week members of Assent’s executive team joined a delegation accompanying Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson on a five-day trade mission to strengthen business and tourism relations between Ottawa and the Netherlands. Members of the delegation include business and tourism leaders from the Canadian capital, such Invest Ottawa, Ottawa Tourism, Accenture and Martello Technologies.

On September 15, 2019, the delegation met first in The Hague to share their goals, and they will visit a number of cities across the Netherlands before concluding in Amsterdam. The visit aims to encourage partnerships in key markets, as well as encourage tourism to the Canadian capital.
