Investing in Young Talent: Lisa joins Briskr
Investing in Young Talent: Lisa Joins Briskr
How do you prepare the next generation of professionals for a fast-moving innovation ecosystem? And how do you ensure that young talent doesn’t just observe, but truly contributes? At Briskr, we believe the answer is simple: you involve them. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Lisa to our team as an intern.
Learning by doing
At Briskr, we guide startups, scale-ups and innovative SMEs in the health and high-tech sectors through crucial growth phases. From networking events and Briskr Academy workshops to funding opportunities, housing and validation services — we help companies move forward with focus and structure.
As part of our team, Lisa will experience this ecosystem from the inside out. She will support communication activities, assist in organizing events, and contribute to projects that strengthen our community. Not as a bystander, but as a team member.
A connection that started before day one
We first met Lisa in the run-up to the Lifeport Semicon Event, where students from ROC Nijmegen supported several key teams behind the scenes. Lisa joined the VIP group, helping with preparation, coordination and hosting on the day itself. Her enthusiasm, helpful attitude and positive energy stood out during this high-paced event. That experience made it immediately clear that she would be a great fit for the Briskr team, and we’re thrilled that our paths crossed there.
The balance between support and ownership
An internship is not just about gaining experience. It’s about responsibility, initiative and growth, on both sides. Just like the companies we support, young professionals develop best when there is a balance between structure and freedom. Clear guidance, but room for ideas. Support, but also ownership. We see internships as a two-way investment: while Lisa gains insight into innovation and ecosystem development, we benefit from her fresh perspective and new energy.
Building the future together
Strengthening the health and high-tech ecosystem doesn’t stop supporting founders. It also means investing in the people who will shape the future of these sectors. By welcoming Lisa, we continue to build not only innovative companies, but also future professionals who understand collaboration, growth and impact.
We look forward to the months ahead and to seeing how Lisa develops within our network. Because sustainable growth starts with people.
