We've seen the power of collaboration as we worked hand in hand with our partners (Techleapnl, Booking.com, Taskforce Diversiteit & Inclusie, Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat) and with many of you, to foster change in the tech industry.We would like to embrace this season as an opportunity to unwind, recharge, and take a moment to reflect.
