Daan de Kort
Ambassador
Our ambassador introduces himself.
My name is Daan de Kort. As someone born and raised in Veldhoven, I am proud of Veldhoven. It is a city of villages. In all those villages, I have my own stories that have shaped me into the person I am today. As a Member of Parliament, I am committed to our innovative Brainport region. I did that in the years before as an alderman. Back then, I became acquainted with the wonderful initiative and the inception of Veldhoven Verbindt.
I find it extremely honorable to be connected to this initiative again as an ambassador after a few years! Because together we form Veldhoven, networking with a soft G. For me, Brabant hospitality with Brainport innovation power is (what) Veldhoven Connects.
What do we do?
Veldhoven Verbindt annually organizes 2 or more board meetings and once a year the Veldhoven Verbindt Business Event. Together with the Municipality of Veldhoven, we organize starter meetings for new entrepreneurs. Veldhoven Verbindt originated from the need to meet each other, learn from each other, and inspire each other. This creates sustainable connections and strengthens the economic climate in Veldhoven.
We meet several times a year. Once a year we organize a big event.
Listening to each other, sharing knowledge and making connections leads to valuable insights.
By exchanging our ideas, plans and intentions, we inspire each other.
