Rabobank’s corporate banking young professionals and Vopak’s management trainees joined forces last week for an insightful and collaborative event hosted at Vopak’s headquarters in Rotterdam. Spearheaded by Koen Borsje from Vopak and Jasper van Balen from Rabobank, the initiative aimed to facilitate knowledge-sharing and mutual learning between the two organisations.

The event kicked off with Koen and Jasper providing valuable insights into their collaborative work, setting the stage for an engaging exchange of ideas and perspectives. Following this, Koen van Beveren, one of Vopak’s management trainees, delivered an informative presentation highlighting Vopak’s role in advancing global logistics and facilitating the flow of goods worldwide. This presentation was followed by interactive small group discussions, allowing participants to delve deeper into the topics presented and share their own insights.

To conclude the event on a memorable note, attendees embarked on a scenic boat trip through the vibrant harbour of Rotterdam. This unique experience provided participants with a firsthand look at Vopak’s operations, including a glimpse of the company’s terminal in Vlaardingen. The boat trip offered a picturesque backdrop for further networking and discussion, enhancing the overall collaborative spirit of the event.

Overall, the collaborative event between Rabobank’s young professionals and Vopak’s trainees proved to be a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, fostering greater understanding and collaboration between the two organisations. Through initiatives like these, both Rabobank and Vopak continue to invest in the development and growth of their talent, driving innovation and excellence within their respective industries.
