Successful Entrepreneurs' Evening: thank you for coming!
We are delighted to have welcomed so many entrepreneurs to our Entrepreneurs' Evening. Thank you for coming! We can look back on a successful evening during which important and topical issues were discussed.

Doing business in difficult times
We discussed the taboo surrounding debt among entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, it is becoming more common, but it can be prevented. Seek help in good time and make your problems discussable. People who ask for help can be helped!
For entrepreneurs who are struggling, a special information page has been set up on the municipality's website: . Here you will find information about the organizations that shared their stories during the evening.

Cybercrime
One in five entrepreneurs is affected by cybercrime. Among SME entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals, this number is even higher. Victims can suffer serious consequences: important documents are lost, large sums of money are debited from their accounts, or confidential data is leaked. In some cases, an entrepreneur's entire business operations can even be shut down. Peter Cox of PVO Limburg tried to bring this to the attention of those present and raise awareness of the issue.
If you would like to know more about PVO Limburg, please visit their website. You can also contact Peter Cox directly .
As announced, you can request a cyber scan or cyber consultation. More information can be found on our website. In addition, PVO Limburg is organizing a Masterclass Cyber Resilience in collaboration with the Municipality of Leudal.

We concluded the evening with the fascinating and inspiring story of Joseph Oubelkas, a story that everyone will remember for a long time to come. Would you like to read his story again at your leisure or purchase his book? Then visit his website.
