Willem van Winden, Lector Urban Economic Innovation, Hogeschool van Amsterdam:
“I was assigned the professorship of the Amsterdam Centre for Applied Research on Business and Economics (CAREM) in 2008. I have published many international comparative studies, among others about cities in the knowledge economy, ICT & the city, the future of industry in European industrial regions, and economic clusters, and specialised in the field of urban economic development and policy. My goal is to help cities improve their economic policies, and let cities learn from each others’ good and bad practices.”
