It was a pleasure to be part of the Entrepreneurial Day 2017 at the University of Twente and getting to introduce Tiny Giants to leading entrepreneurs such as Jose van Dijk - Vice President at (Cisco).

It is young talented people who take on challenges and find disruptive solutions that will radically change the way we do business. The Entrepreneurial Day showcases some brilliant examples of student entrepreneurship.
