Leading up to the Innovation Day on the 14th of June, we present you with a short introduction about all our keynote speakers. Introducing our fourth keynote speaker – Anne Been

About Anne Been

After his studies in Utrecht, Anne immediately started working with innovators. Following his career as an innovation accelerator at Enablemi, Anne is now the director of Business Generator Groningen. Business Generator Groningen supports researchers from within the ecosystem of the University of Groningen (RUG) and the UMCG by translating promising research results into innovations that generate societal impact.

Anne on the Innovation Day

We asked each of our speakers one pressing question about innovation in their field of work. For Anne Been, we were eager to know about what he’s looking forward to on the Innovation Day 2023. Anne answered: “Being successful in the market largely depends on the relationships you have and the way you work with other parties. This applies not only to startups, but also to us. For Business Generator Groningen, the Innovation Day is the perfect day to show what great innovations result from the research that is being done here in Groningen. Above all, however, it is a day on which we can inspire, motivate, and enthuse each other to become even more enterprising together and thus generate as much positive impact as possible in society. We do that together, with each other, and I look forward to it!
