On May 7, AmCham together with Plug and Play Europe, organized an exclusive event for executives to discuss effective innovation strategies used by leading companies.
Dr. Philipp Gneiting, Partner Open Innovation Services at Plug and Play Tech Center, shared Innovation Success Stories. He delved into how disruptive business leaders can position themselves ahead of the innovation curve, emphasizing the importance of nurturing a failure culture to sustain innovation.
During the panel discussion, speakers drew from their diverse fields of expertise in policy-making, research, innovation and management to explore open innovation strategies and how Dutch businesses can positively impact the Netherlands' strategic innovation policy.
Special thanks to the panelists Constantijn Van Oranje-Nassau, Special Envoy Techleap; Ester Barendregt, Chief Economist and Head Netherlands, Economics & Sustainability at RaboResearch; Ilknur Dönmez, MT Member at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy; and Simone Vooijs, Director at Tata Steel Nederland. Also thanks to Omeed Mehrinfar, Managing Partner EMEA at Plug and Play for moderating the panel, and to Laurens Vanryckeghem for moderating the afternoon.
It was an insightful event set against a backdrop of the Amsterdam skyline, visible from the rooftop of Capital C. We thank all who joined, and to all at Plug and Play Europe for the partnership - including Seena Amidi, Maria Zymnis, Carolina Ferreira da Silva.
