PUM is a volunteer organisation. We empower ambitious entrepreneurs in building a structurally better future for their community; socially, ecologically and economically. We work together with SMEs in 37 countries worldwide since 1978. Entrepreneurs and businesses approach us – often via our representatives – and request advice. We link them to Dutch professionals who share their knowledge and experience voluntarily. Our experts execute short-term, solid consultancy projects, either on the work floor or via remote coaching. They collaborate with our clients, so that these develop into a growth engine for the local economy. This benefits both employment and the sustainable economic development of the region. Furthermore, as the contacts established regularly lead to major trade relations, the Dutch economy benefits as well. Our goals are to contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and empower ambitious entrepreneurs in building a structurally better future for their community; socially, ecologically and economically to create vibrant businesses and better lives.
