Changemaker Award

During the event, special attention will be given to the changemakers of HZ. Changemakers contribute in an exceptionally entrepreneurial manner to our societal missions. They are, therefore, an important source of inspiration and change. Ageeth's New Business Models research group allocates an award each year to such a changemaker. This could be a student, teacher, researcher, staff member, or alumni. The award will be presented for the first time on May 24th.
