International cooperation in Deventer: connect partners and support initiatives
The power of Deventer's new international vision lies in connecting the different sectors in Deventer. The aim is linking together education, business, culture, NGOs and the Municipality of Deventer. A look across the border can offer local policy an enrichment in many different ways. Working together offers opportunities for the city and across the borders. In addition, it creates cooperation on major themes and knowledge exchange with similar foreign cities.
The story of ambition 'Deventer International 2015 – 2020’
Entrepreneurs, NGOs, educational and cultural institutions and the municipality of Deventer work together to strengthen the international power of Deventer. These parties are all active internationally and want to create new opportunities for Deventer and it’s partners abroad. Together they wrote a story of ambition, which has been given a concrete form in action lists.
Representatives from the different sectors form a (virtual) international office.
International Office Deventer
The NetSib Foundation is a member and participant in the virtual international network 'International Office Deventer”. This is a network of enthusiastic, internationally oriented networkers and connectors from sectors such as business, culture, education, NGOs and the Municipality of Deventer. The aim of this network is to keep each other and other partners informed and to inform about opportunities available in the field of internationalization. Network members identify opportunities within their own sector and become contact persons for their colleagues with cross-border ideas. Also, they establish connentions with members of other sectors within the International Office. Thus mutual cross-connections will arise and for example export opportunities will increase.
Improve international decisiveness
Deventer is traditionally an internationally oriented city. Think of the Hanseatic League, internationally operating businesses, knowledge institutions and many internationally active civil society organizations within the municipality. The International Office Deventer built further on this. The key to success lies in a pragmatic and innovative connection within and between sectors. But also unexpected meetings inspire working international coopetration.
First successes
On March the 8th 2016 a first evaluation took place after the kick-off on September the 1st 2015.
All sectors presented their first results and succes stories. See picture.
