During this conference we will explore the emerging impact economy in the Netherlands.

What are the challenges and opportunities for business and aspiring business leaders? How is business grappling with the major transitions of our time? How are business models adjusting to new realities? How can business help us “close the gap” and bring us closer (forward faster) to the UN SDG goals? What are the career opportunities that coincide with these ambitions?

The conference aims to connect prominent organizations and practitioners in the Dutch business landscape with RSM students, recent graduates, and faculty providing opportunities for learning and inspiration.

During the morning, we will explore how business in the Netherlands is transforming in light of the global challenges of the 21st century. After a keynote and panel discussion, we will break out in smaller groups to explore specific prominent sectors in the Dutch economy.

During the afternoon, we will take a deep dive in five global themes that deal with the broader transitions that is needed for business to move from commitments to impactful action. What can you do to move forward faster?
