On 1 November, Brainport Development organised a Lunch Break in The Hague with the theme of international knowledge workers. Bram Kaashoek from Dialogic presented the research recently conducted on behalf of Brainport: 'The global pipelines' of the 'local buzz' in Southeast Netherlands. Based on numerous interviews, Dialogic explored which foreign regions are home to the most interesting partners of companies, knowledge institutions, and governments in Southeast Netherlands. They also investigated from where companies and knowledge institutions in Southeast Netherlands attract their international knowledge workers. Bram emphasised in his presentation the need for a more targeted and integrated approach to attracting international knowledge workers, while stressing the equally important question of how these workers can be utilised and retained.
During the Brainport Lunch Break, Minister Gerd Leers and HR executive Harry de Vos from ASML also discussed the importance of international knowledge workers.
