During the policy forum ambassadors of other regions were present. Entrepreneurs  came in contact with each other. One of the most important ambassadors of Meetjesland was invited to share and exchange his knowledge and experiences with the ambassadors of Northeast Fryslân.
The ambassadors met in December 2013 in the north of North Friesland during an autumn meeting . In this inspiring exchange , the director of the Regional Platform , Geert Van de Woestyne and representative brewery Van Steenberge told about the role of the ambassador in the region and the role of brand carriers in the region .
