To keep your public speaking skills fresh you should work on them on a regular basis. For most of us however the trigger to work on these skills is when we have to give our next presentation. To make it easy to keep your presentation skills on top of mind he started #FrankSays. With this hashtag he publishes, every Thursday, a practical pitch tip on Linked In.

Collaboration with a large corporate partner may be critical to successfully bring a startup’s innovation to patients. Such a partnership or collaboration may bring them access to expertise, resources and networks which are otherwise hard to tap into. But what are the ins and outs of building a successful partnership or collaboration?

How to get more out of your team!
Leading and managing a team is rewarding, complex, sometimes frustrating and amazing! Most entrepreneurs know more about their industry or craft than about getting the most out of the team that they work with. Yet fulfilling that role as a leader well is crucial to the success of your business, to your happiness at work and that of your employees. Something that investors also look at when deciding to put more money into your business or to keep you in your role as CEO as the company grows. Whether you have issues with your team, or everything is fine in that area but you would like to keep it that way, this afternoon will be well spent as good staff are harder to find and keep.
In this workshop, hosted by Lizanne Jakobs, we will work on crafting our knowledge and skills on:
– Your role as a leader
– The difference between managing and leading
– What to do when there is friction
– How do you keep people on track and motivated in the short and long term
Lizanne Jakobs is an award winning business coach and speaker and an entrepreneur herself. She is the founder of Brilliant Work, named best business coaching and consultancy firm in the Netherlands for small to medium sized companies two years in a row.

Ep. 11 – Adaptive Learning
Listen to this episode from AI for Life on Spotify. The latest podcast about AI in Nijmegen is about adaptive learning. More and more schools are using digital tools to help students learn, and increasingly these tools are becoming intelligent. By giving real-time feedback and adapting the lessons for the individual student. In this podcast, we discuss the current state of the art and some of the challenges of this technology. How do you balance the needs of an individual student with those of the rest of the class? How do you use these tools in hybrid environments of physical learning and digital learning? And are these tools suitable for all teachers and learners?
In this podcast we talk to: Inge Molenaar, associate professor of educational studies at Radboud University Marieke van Osch, educational expert at the Ministry and Radboudumc and Jorieke Willems of the education company Gynzy.
New perspectives on innovative business
If a company develops technical new products or services in the Netherlands, they could be eligible for Dutch tax incentives. These tax incentives can be very attractive for most business. In order to qualify for the tax incentives, several criteria have to be met. BDO can assess if your company could qualify for the tax incentives. Thereby we can support with the application and implementation of the tax incentives.
The Dutch government offers companies two tax incentives: the WBSO and the innovation box. These tax incentives encourages companies to occur Research and Development (R&D) activities in the Netherlands.
WBSO
You can invoke the WBSO during the research and development stage of your innovation. This entails a reduction in the payroll tax liability for wage and other costs as well as expenditures associated with the research and development work for your innovation. This reduction may run up to 40%. For the WBSO is involved the development of (components of) technically innovative physical products, physical production processes or software components, or technical and scientific research.
All kind of innovative developments could be eligible for the WBSO. The WBSO can take effect at any time during the research and development stage, however the WBSO does not have retrospective effect. Applications for the WBSO can be submitted at RVO each month and the application period could start (at least) on the first day of the following months. Only exception is applications starting as from 1 January, which should be submitted before the 20th of December. The period for which a company could opt for the WBSO, should be at least three months within the same calendar year.
Innovation box
The innovation box offers a reduction on the corporate income tax paid on profits generated from innovations. Subject to meeting the conditions, companies will owe no more than 9% corporate income tax on your ‘innovative’ profits. With effect of 1 January 2017, a patent or plant variety right alone is no longer sufficient to qualify for the innovation box. To demonstrate that you have self-developed an innovation, qualification under the WBSO is now the decisive criterion.
Large companies with a global revenue of more than 250 million euros over five years or income from innovations of more than 37.5 million euros over five years are required to meet additional criteria, i.e.:
The innovation box can be applied to the years in which the conditions are being met. Contrary to the WBSO, the innovation box can be applied with retroactive effect to all years for which the corporate income tax assessment is not final yet.
BDO: specialist in tax incentives
The WBSO and innovation box could offer companies significant tax savings in the Dutch wage tax and the Dutch corporate income tax. Unfortunately, our experience shows that companies often do not (optimally) use these tax incentives. BDO has experience with the WBSO and innovation box for a variety of companies. We can assess whether your company could qualify for these tax incentives and if so, file an application at the competent government agency. Furthermore, we can also help you with the implementation and optimization of the these tax incentives.
Yours to gain
New transparency
Tax laws and rules are constantly changing and tax issues are becoming increasingly complex. What is more, the social pressure for transparency is intensifying. How can you, as a managing director and/or business owner, best maintain a clear overview when facing such a dynamic tax landscape? And how do you set clear tax objectives for the future? BDO tax advisers provide new transparency by examining your business from a fresh and independent perspective. We are able to translate complex tax issues into coherent recommendations and tangible solutions. We work closely with you to ensure your professional and personal goals are attained. In dialogue with you, we develop a clear-cut tax strategy that leads to sustainable success.

Who am I? Who do I want to be? How do others see me? Identity and identity questions play an important role in our thinking, feeling and acting. As we continuously relate to an ever-changing reality, a core idea is forming of who you essentially are. This is a complex process involving a series of major and minor crises. Although central during adolescence, your identity continues to evolve throughout your life. Identity is key in certain disorders and problems related to anxiety and insecurity – such as those surrounding ethnicity and gender dysphoria – and is ultimately fundamental to our functioning and happiness.
But what do we exactly know about identity and identity development? Before we dive into the summer, Science Café Nijmegen will be hosting identity researchers Susan Branje (UU), Lisanne de Moor (UU & TU) and Andrik Becht (UU) on Wednesday evening June 15th, to educate us and discuss this (in Dutch). Branje will discuss identity as a psychosocial phenomenon; how it is shaped by your relationships and interactions with others and the wider social context. De Moor studies identity through narratives – the stories we create about ourselves – and also looks at psychological problems. Becht will outline his research into identity insecurity and depression and will also discuss the (testing of) identity theory and the relationship between brain development and identity. For Tia Mangola, it’s always summer; they will give this evening a touch of identidade Brasileira.

Development of new medicines is a lengthy and laborious process. The time it takes from initial discovery of a working molecule to treating a patient is more than 10 years and more than 2,5 billion dollars. Just the clinical phase takes up more than 7 years in this process. If you are lucky… This long development and approval process is not only extremely expensive but also leads to a much slower adaptation of new treatments.
At this moment there are a lot of new approaches to speeding up the development process of new drugs. From parallelization of development, AI to select the best candidates, organs on a chip or even detailed digital twins to calculate the effects of molecules on humans before they are really applied in reality.
The Molecule2Business 2022 event will dive into new approaches to speed up the process of bringing new pharmaceuticals to the market.
