A PERSONAL STORY

An evening that changes your perspective

How do you build something others cannot yet see?

How do you succeed as an entrepreneur? How do you make decisions when no one can tell you which ones are right? What do you do when things go wrong, and how do you keep seeing new opportunities? Discover the personal story behind the entrepreneur. This is an evening with Wim himself, not a standard business presentation. He will talk about his life, successes and setbacks, the choices that brought him here, and why he has started a new adventure in Rotterdam. You can ask him your own questions.

AN EVENING WITH WIM BEELEN

Arrive with questions. Leave with a new perspective.
