HZ Knowledge Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (HZ KCOI) is organising the third HZ Changemaker Event on Thursday 28 May 2026.
This is the event where entrepreneurs, researchers, students and professionals come together to share knowledge, inspire each other and continue to build future-proof entrepreneurship together.
Future-proof entrepreneurship
As an entrepreneur, how do you remain relevant in a world that is constantly changing? What does it take to move forward and do business in a future-proof way, with an eye for innovation and social impact?
During the event, lecturer Ageeth van Maldegem and researchers from HZ KCOI will share their latest insights in the field of social earning capacity, innovative business models, sustainable ecosystems and technological developments.
Are you or do you know the next HZ Changemaker?
The afternoon will end on a festive note with the presentation of the HZ Changemaker Award. This award is for a student, alumnus, lecturer or employee of HZ who contributes to the institution's social missions in a particularly entrepreneurial way. Previous winners include the sustainable entrepreneurs of Ocean Ceramics and impact manager Vincent van der Veen.
