Background
In the spring of 2023, the idea for NL Expo // LA28 was launched by Dutch Honorary Consul LA, Reinout Oerlemans. The vision? A place where the best that the Netherlands has to offer comes together, in the global hotspot of elite sports for years to come: Los Angeles.
The first steps
Inspired by a sports mission to LA, and with the help of a leading group of (semi)private organizations, Rebel Group has developed a social business plan for NL Expo // LA28.
On the 24th of January 2024, the results of the social business plan were published and shared at a seminar in Amsterdam. More info here.
