Have you been walking around with an entrepreneurial question for a while? For example about future-proofing business, digitizing, sustainability, innovation or personnel? Then now is the time to ask that question. During the MKB Summer Sessions the advisors of LIOF, Rabobank and Brightlands will come to you!

Why now?

Because entrepreneurs often have just a little more space in the summer to reflect on what's going on. And because it's a good time to look at where you want to go after the summer. What needs to be done differently? What can be done better? What do you want to work on?

How does it work?

Sign up for a location and date that is convenient for you. Let us know approximately what time you want to come by and what your question is about. Then we'll make sure the right people are ready with a nice cup of coffee and a fresh set of eyes.

Whether you're struggling with an investment question, have an idea for a new product, want to know how to accelerate with AI, or simply want a quick sparring session: during the SME Summer Sessions, no question is too crazy. You don't need grand plans. One question is enough. A good conversation starts with curiosity.

The power? You always walk away with an answer. Maybe even with a new direction, partner or idea. The combined knowledge and networks of LIOF, Rabobank and Brightlands will help you on your way!

"Where you see opportunity, we see the route"

What can you ask for?

Just about anything related to entrepreneurship. Think:

  • How do I finance my next move?
  • What can I do with data or AI?
  • Where do I find help with innovation?
  • How do I find the right partners?
  • Or just: I'm struggling with something, can you think with me?

Whatever your question, you never walk out empty-handed.

Who's there for you?

The Summer Sessions are a collaboration between three regional parties, each bringing their own knowledge and network:

  1. LIOF: Roy Golsteijn - for advice, network and financing
  2. Rabobank: John Janssen - for financial issues and strategic advice
  3. Brightlands: Robert van Rietveld - for innovation, technology and knowledge development

The thematic expertise of the three consultants is in line with the major transitions of our time: future-proofing business, digitalization, sustainability, innovation and human resources. With their combined knowledge, network and experience, you are assured of a conversation that will help you move forward.

Who is this of interest to?

For entrepreneurs, directors and decision makers within SMEs. The focus is on sectors such as Agrofood/Agrotech, Manufacturing, Life Sciences & Health (medtech/healthtech) and Chemistry & Materials. But even if you do not fall directly under these, you are welcome. The Summer Sessions are there for anyone with a serious entrepreneurial question.
