The Malaysian Dutch Business Council (MDBC) is all about providing business services, representation, and networking.  We forge business ties between Malaysia and The Netherlands.  Established in 1996 by Malaysian and Dutch companies, MDBC is a private, well established, non – profit trade support organisation with more than 250 members.  Don’t forget to check out our Members Directory to see who’s in the community.  MDBC is considered one of the most active councils in Kuala Lumpur and in Malaysia as a whole, to see what events are upcoming, please visit our Events Calendar.

In 2021, MDBC won the ‘Best Bilateral Business Services Provider – Malaysia’ award from APAC Insider.  In 2019, MDBC became the second Dutch Chamber in the world to receive the NLinBusiness quality mark in an accreditation ceremony attended by the Netherlands Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Stef Blok.  In addition to being acknowledged as a ‘best – in – class’ leader, MDBC is now officially a member of the new NLinBusiness network of business hubs.  This is a sign to Dutch entrepreneurs that they can be guaranteed a ‘soft landing’ in Malaysia as they seek to enter the Malaysian market and / or wider ASEAN market.  In 2018, MDBC won the APAC 2018 International Chambers of Commerce Membership Engagement Program of the Year Award.

MDBC has the audacious goal of becoming the best business chamber in the world, providing lasting value to our members.  We achieve our high standards through the successful execution of our three objectives (Business Services, Representation, and Networking).  Our core values are to be Entrepreneurial, Independent, Accessible, Responsible, and Service Oriented.
