Special birthday 🎉🎂 today: 5 years ago I made the jumpt to starting my own company and oh boy, it has been an exciting ride so far! Some highlights of the journey so far: ➡️ Shifting my pitch from "doing something in innovation & partnerships" to the clearer : "helping others to transform their innovation ambitions into concrete ideas, strong processes and engaged partnerships to maximize chances for success, delivering results and growth" ➡️ Starting just before Covid was not the best timing, but I adapted & survived ➡️ Building & kickstarting a large ecosystem in healthcare: MEDVIA ➡️ Expanding my knowledge and scratching the fascinating world of biotech ➡️ Meeting the great people at World Open Innovation Community ➡️ Winning the Best #openinnovation #practice #award ➡️ Delivering a first international Masterclass in Bilbao ➡️ attending the R&D Management conference in Stockholm & going home with tons of new material to read 5 years, sometimes it may seem long; for me it went fast. I especially want to thank all that helped, inspired and supported me these last 5 years. It really made a difference for me. But not yet time to stop: I still have big plans for many things to come. So look out for: • My new revamped website (80% online already) • New training programs for innovation & win-win innovation (details coming soon) • More international workshops (too early to reveal) #celebration P.S. yes, it's one of my home made cakes
Proficiat, Wim! 🎂 I think many of us are thankful you made the jump. Hope our paths will cross again at #WOIC!
Waw Piet, proficiat! En dat is een traject geworden om fier op te zijn! op naar de volgende 5 jaar (en meer). 💪
Als fan van Club Brugge zou ik zeggen - "bluvngoan"!
Proficiat Piet met de jump en jouw taart :-)
Ik wil die taart 🎂
Gefeliciteerd Piet
