A warm and deserved tribute in Drachten<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, Nov. 20, the Innovatiecluster Drachten bid farewell to Binne Visser<\/a> as chairman. Binne makes the move to the robotic housing factory of Van Wijnen<\/a>. This ends a period of seven years in which he was privileged to wield the gavel with dedication and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A festive start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon began with a speech by mayor Fred Veenstra<\/a> of the municipality of Smallingerland. He mentioned Binne's great commitment and surprised him with the title of honorary citizen of the municipality.
In appreciation, Binne received a certificate and a statuette of a deer, the symbol of Drachten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Appreciation from the region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was followed by two video messages.
First spoke  Jouke de Vries<\/a>, president of the Executive Board of the University of Groningen<\/a>. He emphasized the important role Binne played in the cooperation between education and industry.
Then spoke Friso Douwstra<\/a>, representative of the province of Frysl\u00e2n. He too praised Binne's commitment and significance for technological development in the Northern Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A personal word from the ICD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on behalf of the ICD were Joost Krebbekx<\/a> and Herman Roose<\/a>. They dwelt on Binne's unique qualities. Not as an autonomous system, but rather as a human being with vision, humor and commitment. The presentation was supported by AI-generated portraits, which made the audience smile. In addition, Binne received a 3D printed medal and a check for a weekend getaway with his wife Corry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A surprising musical moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The speeches were followed by a special \u2018surprise\u2019. The ICD team had their own song made via OpenAI. Complete with lyrics, music, vocals and karaoke playback.
The song was well sung along, a unique new earworm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Closure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was captured with a group photo in the SKILL building. This was followed by drinks and snacks. Around 5:45 p.m. the program ended and those present could look back on a warm and personal farewell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
