Issue conference June 16, 2022

Jos Verhoeven has been general manager of since its founding in 1998 Launch Foundation; an innovative, independent, social investor/developer who does not shy away from controversy. For example, Start Foundation previously successfully sued the State because it unfairly imposed huge fines on entrepreneurs who allowed undocumented children to do internships. Start Foundation was also one of the founders of the business network De Nooitste Zaak and developed a crisis loan for SME entrepreneurs who were not helped by the banks. Nowadays, the Start Foundation advocates, among other things, a so-called parallel labor market, Open Hiring and fights to make labor market legislation fairer and better.

Jos has been honored several times as the most influential director in Dutch philanthropy and will speak at the Issue Congress in Amsterdam on June 16. Together with other speakers, he will give substance to our theme World Improvers. Would you like to be present during this conference to hear Jos and other world improvers speak?
