2. NEWS INSPIRING FIFTY
Fancy van de Vorst
Fancy van de Vorst is always working on making connections,
something she developed during her years as a policy officer
Economic Affairs in Eindhoven. “It’s about getting people to link to
each other so that we not only prevent duplication of work being
done, but that we also share our knowledge and resources, so we can
all grow.” A natural choice therefore to be requested by the Mayor
and the Alderman to act as Eindhoven region’s special envoy in the
ambitious startup platform led by Neelie Kroes, from its initiation in
2015 until mid-2016.
StartupDelta is an independent public-private partnership. Together
with the main innovation hubs in the Netherlands, the team works
with the ministries of Economic Affairs and Education Culture and
Science, the startup community, and other partners with the goal of
bringing the Netherlands into the top 3 of the best European startup
ecosystems. While representing Eindhoven and the Brainport region
‘High Tech’ innovation hub in Neelie Kroes’’ initiation team, Van De
Vorst’s primary focus was with the wider national agenda of
StartupDelta, “to help startups with their visibility and credibility”
specifically developing an approach to connect corporates and
startups as program manager of COSTA.
Back in Eindhoven Fancy continues to actively build connections
between government, local business and industry, sharing her energy
and inspiration by also offering special support and mentori ng for
the small but growing group of female technical talent in the
Brainport region.
