Academic Startup Competition 2020
The Academic Startup Competition identifies startup candidates in academia to join a race for the 2020 Dutch Pioneering Innovations from Science. The competition aims to accelerate new, transformational technologies into successful business opportunities and pushing their scalability through early involvement of experts across talent management, capital and markets.
As a project manager, I worked together with a great range of governmental partners and stakeholders. Due to the COVID - 19 pandemic, the planning and timeline had to change several times. It was my responsibility to continuously adapt to these changing parameters, whilst still meeting tight deadlines and getting everyone aligned to make this competition successful and worthwhile for the 10 winners.
I coordinated the set up of a tailor made mentoring platform and a digital West Coast Incubation Program, including matchmaking, deep dives and online Pitch training USA organised by the Dutch consulate in San Francisco. We create visibility for the 10 startups and these successful transfers of science by deploying PR and communication around the Academic Startup Competition.

Odyssey Momentum
Odyssey Momentum is an Online Mass Collaboration Arena dedicated to solving complex, 21st-century challenges. This online experience of 49 hours allows over 2000 participants to work in teams of diverse expertise and to explore new possibilities to collaborate, create value and solve the given challenges.
The latter were contributed by corporations, governments, and nonprofits and were directly tied to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, covering domains such as energy transition, conscious cities, critical infrastructure, logistics, public safety, nature conservation, real estate, healthcare, and digital identity. Underlying it was the core assumption that solving these challenges together would have a positive societal and economic impact.
The resulting online arena will be visited by 15 partner and stakeholder delegations. My role was to inform, brief and guide these delegations in the digital space on the event days of November 13 and 14, 2020.

B. Amsterdam
B. Amsterdam is a business centre that provides creative workspace for innovation, education, and growth.
My work with them centred around their third completed building in Amsterdam in 2018, called B.3. With a small team we coordinated the contractors and brought the vision of the interior designer to life.
