Editor's Notes
2012. No clear vision
on future economic developmenton digital transformation and disruptionon supporting startups
2014. Facilitating on a large number of levels
There was not enough talent developing new business ideas, not nearly enough entrepreneurs.
We dont have any high schools.
Rol van de stad.

Why is innovation so important
Equally true for governments (cities) as for corporates
Its a platform where
programming students can meet
knowledgeable pensioners
The city as a laboratory for everything to do with
the internet of things
