What is the Network Council?
The Network Council is a powerful network of leading decision makers (executives, CEOs, presidents, founders, CIOs, directors) within companies, knowledge institutions, governments and civil society organisations. Have a look at the Network Council members.
Together with Board members, Network Council members make an impact on complex challenges in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. We do this by connecting strong parties that do not automatically encounter each other. Together we create breakthroughs that partners cannot achieve on their own.
