U®talk info

In cooperation with Van Hall Larenstein, URAIDE organizes a number of exchanges on change and innovation in international business development at IMPULSE, the innovation incubation centre of Wageningen University. In a couple of Friday afternoons, you are invited to panel discussions where representatives of public and private agencies will be discussing international business development. The 'wicket problems' that are being pitched will be unveiled and broken down to actionable intervention strategies by those attending: government administrators, experts, policy makers and entrepreneurs.
