“If we want to make a growth spurt as a city, the connection will have to be better. That was also the idea of ​​my two hands at Bakkie040, on Strijp-S. You give and receive, otherwise there is a standstill. Shaking hands and helping each other forward. Everyone generally means well to each other, but we all live in different bubbles. It would be nice if we could come together a little more. In Eindhoven, it is still very much everyone on their own, a bit on their own, right? The doors are open everywhere, but we are also mainly busy with ourselves.”
