Roadshow #2 Beethoven Noord
More talent for the semiconductor industry! That, in short, is the aim of Beethoven Noord: a unique collaboration between educational and knowledge institutions, governments, and the business community in Northern Netherlands. It was launched to cultivate more talent for the semiconductor industry, which is of great importance to the Netherlands. The industry is responsible for producing microchips for modern electronics, such as smartphones, solar panels, and medical equipment.
During the Roadshow on 16 October, we will explain the purpose of this programme, the main building blocks, and, above all, how we intend to achieve our goals.
We are once again organizing four break-out sessions that you can sign up for. The break-out sessions will be led by individuals who are closely involved in the programme. Sign up for a session of your choice. Please note: each break-out session is first come, first served.
