During the first\u00a0ICD Working Group R&D Managers<\/strong>\u00a0After the summer period, the Innovatiecluster Drachten paused to reflect on the special contribution of\u00a0Hilbrand Wijbenga<\/strong>\u00a0from Ventura Systems and\u00a0Roelof Jan Boer<\/strong>\u00a0from Resato Hydrogen Technology. Both have dedicated themselves for years with great energy, commitment, and enthusiasm to the ICD and the regional high-tech community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connection between high-tech, education and talent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hilbrand and Roelof Jan have played an important role in various activities and projects of the past few years Innovation Cluster Drachten<\/strong>. Thus, they were involved in numerous job fairs, ICD Safaris, and R&D projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also at the ICD Student Awards<\/strong> was Roelof Jan closely involved. In addition, Hilbrand recently made an important contribution to the MISTI program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their knowledge, experience, and broad network, they consistently sought to connect businesses, education, and talent development. In doing so, they have contributed to a strong regional innovation ecosystem centered around knowledge sharing and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characteristic ICD attitude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to their visible contributions, their attitude and involvement behind the scenes were of great value. Hilbrand and Roelof Jan were true pillars of the ICD attitude<\/strong>open, involved, inspiring, and always willing to think along and help others further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precisely that positive and constructive attitude is important within a network like the ICD. By sharing knowledge and experience, companies, educational institutions, and talent can reinforce one another. Hilbrand and Roelof Jan have actively contributed to this for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Thanks for your efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the entire ICD, and in particular the ICD Working Group R&D Managers<\/strong>, we want to sincerely thank Hilbrand and Roelof Jan for their years of dedication and the impact they have had on our organization and our network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a lasting reminder, both received an ICD hoodie. A small gesture of thanks for a major contribution to the ICD community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish Hilbrand and Roelof Jan much success and fun in all that the future brings. From job to career in the region<\/strong> That applies here too. We will undoubtedly meet each other more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Hilbrand and Roelof Jan. Your involvement, knowledge and positive energy continue to inspire!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
