The theme for a recent talk during a Dutch Ministry event was “Inspiration For Development – Trade 2.0”, and Hanne Melin of the eBay Inc. Public Policy Lab was invited to address an audience of local trade experts. The audience had come from all over the world to attend the biannual event of the CBI, an agency of the Dutch Ministry for Foreign Affairs dedicated to facilitating exporting from developing countries. 

Hanne Melin was one of the key note speakers together with Ambassador Roodenburg of the Dutch Ministry; Arancha Gonzales, Executive Director of the International Trade Center; and Volkert Engelsman, CEO of Eosta. Melin presented the Lab's Commerce 3.0 For Development research and recent trade policy analysis.
