Expedition EBNN

In May 2023, over sixty representatives from Northern Dutch governments, institutions, and businesses embarked on a journey with the goal of committing to the implementation of jointly established plans within the framework of the RIS3 strategy: the innovation strategy of and for Northern Netherlands.

The agreements were made during the two-day Expedition EBNN on Terschelling, where entrepreneurs, officials, and representatives from major educational institutions, companies, and execution and network organizations participated.

After an introduction in the reception area at Rederij Doeksen, the group boarded the fast ferry to Terschelling. The plenary opening program and thematic sessions were held at Westcord Hotel Skylge. In the late afternoon, participants went on an expedition. Inspirational talks took place at unique locations (a ship, the West End theater, and the Duikhuis Ecuador). The expedition ended at Atelier Struijk, where Flang in de Pan served the guests the flavors of the Wadden Sea. With an overnight stay and the signing of the letter of intent, the expedition concluded.

Client EBNN was responsible for the content, while Congress Bureau Friesland handled the entire logistical organization, including guidance on the island.
