Building housing units with a role for status holders
A second compliment was awarded to Releventure Fund in partnership with Cubicco International and the Youth House Foundation. The match between Releventure Fund and the Youth House Foundation was made back in October 2016 at the MO040 XL anniversary dinner. It is a great example of how a one-time match grows over time into a long-term cooperation and new matches. With the construction of relocatable housing units, it has now been agreed that status holders will be trained to work on the construction site.

Together we are smarter
Hans Brouwhuis, Site Manager NXP Semiconductors: "For social institutions, technology is still something that in many cases is far from the bedside. Yet modern technology is already so woven into our daily lives that we often do not realize we are already using it. However, modern technology offers unique opportunities to contribute significantly to organizational goals. This, of course, also applies to social organizations. The aforementioned digital social marketplace but also making education "smart" in terms of technology are excellent examples."

Staf Depla, Alderman Eindhoven: "The developments in the field of technology are going incredibly fast. Fortunately, our city has an awful lot of technological knowledge. This knowledge also offers solutions close to home. Therein lies the strength of Eindhoven, together we are smarter and as a city we continue to develop."
