NVP Seminar - Sign-up now!

On Thursday, 12 November 2026, we return to De Rode Hoed in Amsterdam for our Annual Seminar. Under the theme ‘New Coordinates’, we’ll explore the forces reshaping investment, business and Europe’s place in the world. As familiar anchors shift, new coordinates are emerging that will shape Europe’s path to innovation, competitiveness and resilience. What do these new coordinates mean for investors?

We're pleased to announce four new speakers: 

• Sandor Gaastra, Secretary-General of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, brings the policy perspective on economic resilience and Europe's strategic position.
• Anne-Marije Zwerver, quantum physicist and CEO & founder of Groove Quantum, offers a view on one of the most transformative technologies on the horizon.
• Felice Verduyn-van Weegen, Partner at EQT Life Sciences, shares her experience investing in innovative healthcare companies.
• Rina Joosten, entrepreneur and CEO of AI scale-up Pera, speaks on artificial intelligence and the future of work. 

They join our previously announced speaker and moderator:

• Michel Don Michaloliákos, co-founder of the 'HIG - Haagsch Instituut voor Geopolitiek' and geopolitical analyst, who advises organisations on geopolitical and geo-economic developments in Europe and the Middle East.
• Jacqueline van den Ende, entrepreneur, investor and co-founder & CEO of Carbon Equity, who will moderate the seminar. Her career spans investing, entrepreneurship and building high-impact ventures.
• Thijs Launspach, psychologist, speaker and bestselling author, as one of this year’s speakers. Known for his work on mental health, stress, burnout and the changing world of work,

With perspectives ranging from geopolitics and investment to leadership, resilience and the future of work, this year’s programme will offer plenty to reflect on.
