This session offers a dynamic deep dive into how the Lifeport region is jointly strengthening its semiconductor ecosystem. In an engaging two-stage panel discussion, regional leaders first outline the strategic choices needed for growth, space and talent. The conversation then expands as additional partners join the table to show how the Regional Talent Plan is being put into practice — across education, industry, campus development and government.
Participants gain a rare behind-the-scenes look at the decisions shaping the future of semicon and talent in East Netherlands, and discover the concrete opportunities to contribute as a young professional, entrepreneur or researcher.
