Joost Helms

Joost Helms is co-founder and director of Eindhoven Academy. With its programme “Leadership in the Brainport Region Eindhoven” (LIBRE), Eindhoven Academy aims to position its participants (and their organisations) within the ecosystem and increase their effectiveness in collaborative partnerships. In addition to knowledge, inspiration, personal growth and leadership, Eindhoven Academy contributes to broadening and deepening the network within the Brainport Eindhoven region.

The region's success is partly based on close cooperation between businesses, government bodies and knowledge institutions. Fontys plays an important role in this. Through the Fontys ICT Strategic Advisory Board, I am keen to contribute to further strengthening and deepening this cooperation and to help find solutions to any issues that arise in the process.
