Breath of Fresh Air

The events of Netherlands Food Partnership and SeedNL were a breath of fresh air in the tense geopolitical developments.

With SOS Labs we aim to provide infrastructure and tools for creating agrimarkets in emerging economies, in a bottom up manner, with precompetitive R&D, using fresh young visions, and technology like AI, Blockchain, XR.

Greatly inspired by the so-called ‘Improbable business cases’ panel, featuring Thekla Teunis, Sunday Silungwe Jnr, Joe DeVries, and Dr Joe Moughan, PhD, FRSB.

Always amazed by the in-depth content brought by many people from Wageningen Social & Economic Research Wageningen University & Research Wageningen Plant Research

Inspiring to see the willingness of all to bring about public private partnerships, for example Anne-Katrien Denissen who is boosting local and international agribusiness in Ghana with Netherlands Enterprise Agency .

Good to experience the deep involvement of Ministerie van Landbouw, Visserij, Voedselzekerheid en Natuur, Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, Naktuinbouw, branche organizations like Plantum, NAO, and HZPC, NGOs like SNV, Solidaridad Network, IDH, Oxfam, and many others. The Dutch Diamond at its best!
