PwC proudly joins Brainport Partnerfonds
"I am proud that, as an accountancy and consultancy organisation, we are committing ourselves to the Brainport Partner Fund. We have traditionally had strong roots in the region and recognise the importance of integral cooperation. In the coming years, we will therefore intensify our involvement in the region together with our clients and relations. Examples include organising roundtable meetings on themes such as cybersecurity and supporting the metropolitan region in its growth agenda. In addition to contributing with our expertise to sustainable growth of organisations in the region, we also want to contribute financially through the fund to support this growth across the board. It is an opportunity not just to participate, but to actually help build a strong future." According to Jeroen van Kessel, partner and region leader-South at PwC.
The Brainport region is known as one of the leading technological and innovative regions in Europe. This is evident from recent PwC research on the semiconductor ecosystem and “central sectors” in the Netherlands. 'PwC's contribution to the Brainport Partner Fund underlines our commitment to the region's sustainable development and ambition to build a sustainable, prosperous future together with other partners,' said Veronique Roos, member of the Executive Board of PwC Netherlands. 'A strong region contributes to a healthy economic environment that benefits businesses, the public sector and residents alike.'
The Brainport Partner Fund is delighted to welcome PwC as a participant in the fund. Together with the other participants in the fund, PwC ensures that the Brainport region remains healthy and attractive for its residents and companies.
With the Brainport Partner Fund, the business community in Brainport contributes financially to the future of the region. Together with the national and regional governments, companies are investing in better accessibility, the accelerated construction of affordable housing, the training of extra technical talent, a balanced labour market and equal opportunities and social cohesion. Measures needed to manage the region's accelerated growth. This will keep prosperity and well-being in balance.
