Innovative, International, Involving - Launch IP report



Today was the official launch of the report from the Innovation Platform on how to get the Netherlands back in the top 5 of most competitive countries by the year 2020. You can download the report and guiding movie from their website (though everything is in Dutch, clearly they did not use all our suggestions...).


We are very curious what you think of the results, so please let us know here and leave a comment.

Also we are curious if you see anything that we as Enviu can or should take on in this context as a follow-up to the project we did (which was asking our network for input on this topic through social/ online media, and through a workshop session).

Maybe you like to continue the discussion online with other interested people from the network > we could open a separate LinkedIn group or we could set up another online chat discussion (with better technical infrastructure this time).
Or you have a project idea you'd like to work on in this context and could use the help of others > we could set up a workshop, see if we can arrange a project team, or see if we have the necessary expertise in our network.

Or maybe you have totally different idea! Well please let us know, and we can see what we can do together.
Leave a comment, or sent me an email: josine@enviu.org

For now, thanks for all your thoughts, ideas and discussions! Hope to see you soon online again, on this blog, our Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter!
