“ESDP has played a key role in expanding Omek’s network and visibility among its corporate partners. For example, our participation in all the ESDP events last year meant an opportunity to have multiple touchpoints to engage directly and have valuable conversations with procurement teams from corporate partners such as CBRE, Accenture, Amazon, Meta, Nike, and GSK, to name a few, all of whom are interested in working with diverse suppliers.”

“ESDP has been a transformational partner in my professional growth and business success. From the very beginning, being a part of ESDP has clarified so many important aspects of engaging with large organizations—something that once seemed intimidating as a small business owner. Gaining the ESDP Certification was a game-changer for me. It was not just a piece of paper; it was my ticket to opportunities I might never have had otherwise.”

“Being part of ESDP has provided us with valuable opportunities in multiple ways. We were able to connect with several large corporations like EY, Enterprise, Amazon, IBM, and Booking Holdings, which would not have been possible without this platform. This had further led to specific one-to-one meetings with some corporates, where we were able to introduce ourselves in more detail.”

“The experience of being involved with ESDP has opened incredible doors for us. It has allowed me to make connections with entrepreneurs around the world, enriching my network and our strategic collaborations. One of the highlights has definitely been meeting other inspiring business leaders sharing the same commitment to diversity, sustainability, and innovation. The opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from others has been invaluable.”

“ESDP has been instrumental in my business growth, providing training, direct introductions to procurement leads, and support in crafting proposals, conducting needs analyses, and refining pitches. At events, the ESDP team has personally introduced me to key decision-makers, which led to two major projects. ESDP has also fostered a strong peer-to-peer support system among suppliers, creating opportunities for collaboration and shared learning”

“ESDP has been instrumental in expanding LAUDACE’s network and business opportunities. Through ESDP-hosted events and conferences, we have built strong relationships, generating hot leads that we are actively working to convert. The pitching session with Brian Ziskie, an procurement expert from Roche, helped refine our pitching strategy, turning insights into action. ESDP has also provided visibility beyond the Netherlands, allowing us to showcase LAUDACE internationally, from London to Paris.”
