SUMMARY:Congress "Tackle Global Challenges & Seize Opportunities"
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday February 15\, 2017\, the Ministries of Foreign Affairs\, Economic Affairs\, and Infrastructure & Environment\, organize together with VNO-NCW and MSE-Netherlands the congress “Tackle Global Challenges & Seize Opportunities”; how can the Netherlands as innovative trade and investment partner contribute to the global challenges in the fields of food\, water\, circular economy and innovation? There are limited places available and the congress will be held in Dutch.  \nOp woensdag 15 februari 2017 organiseren de ministeries van Buitenlandse Zaken\, Economische Zaken\, Infrastructuur & Milieu\, VNO-NCW en MKB-Nederland het congres Tackle Global Challenges & Seize Opportunities; Hoe kan Nederland als innovatieve handels-en investeringspartner bijdragen aan oplossingen voor wereldwijde uitdagingen op terreinen als voedsel en water\, circulaire economie en innovatie?\nHet congres is onderdeel van de ondernemersagenda NL Next Level. \nDe Minister voor Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking\, mevrouw Lilianne Ploumen zal het congres openen. Andere sprekers zijn Frank Heemskerk (bewindvoerder bij de Wereldbank)\, Jan Willem Scheijgrond (Head of International Partnerships bij Royal Philips) en Jennifer Kockx (Head of Global Initiative bij de TU Delft). \nIn 2015 stelden de VN een agenda vast voor wereldwijde uitdagingen\, de zogenoemde Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). Deze doelen gelden voor alle landen. Er zijn forse inspanningen nodig op verschillende terreinen van IMVO tot innovatie om deze doelen te realiseren: van bedrijven\, van kennisinstellingen\, van banken\, van maatschappelijke organisaties en van overheden. \nTijdens het congres kijken we welke acties nodig zijn om te zorgen dat Nederlandse kennis en kunde op de juiste plek terechtkomen en hoe we de bijbehorende kansen kunnen verzilveren. Bent u binnen uw organisatie diegene die zich hiermee bezighoudt\, dan ontmoeten wij u graag op het congres! \nKijk op de website van VNO-NCW voor meer informatie\, het programma en registratie. \n
