Economic mission to Texas: Oil & Gas remains very important, Worldwide opportunities for Dutch Suppliers Next to the unique setting of two high profile delegations from two neighboring countries visiting Houston together at the same time, the received information itself made this mission a great success and was for many of the participants an eye opener.
