Communities
Within the program, (existing) communities are of great importance, both physically and digitally. Communities provide a platform for inspiration and are a source of collaboration. Informing, inspiring and initiating are therefore central.
Various events are organized around current themes, both physically (if permitted) and online. Think of current themes such as sustainability, health and digitization. The starting point is the dissemination and sharing of knowledge by and with companies. But the insights of knowledge institutions and other relevant organizations are also used.
Review Leisure Plus Event Province of Limburg

Collective programs
Collective programs are organized several times a year. These programs consist of several master classes for groups of entrepreneurs who work together on specific issues. These programs are organized both online and physically (to the extent permitted).
