			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On March 5, the entrepreneurs in <a href="http://www.blue4green.nl/" class="liexternal">Blue4Green</a> will share with the participants in VentureLab how they traveled their route to success. A lot of entrepreneurs start searching for a business opportunity or promising market as a foundation for their business. However, this was not how Daan Sistermans and Erik Staijen started Blue4Green. In their lecture they will speak about the &#8220;personal center&#8221; as starting point for entrepreneurship: What do I want to do with my life? Which role suits me best? What gives me the most energy? On the surface these questions look simple, but the answers had big entrepreneurial implications to them and the way they manage the growth of Blue4Green.</p>
<p><span id="more-1806"></span></p>
<p>Daan and Erik are active with lab-on-a-chip technology in the veterinary world. Large animals such as cows can&#8217;t go to the veterinarian; the vet has to visit the farm. And for diagnosis, the vet needs to return to his laboratory. Blue4Green offers a lab-on-a-chip that detects diseases from one drop of blood,&nbsp; in a few moments.</p>
<p>Want to be a VentureLab participant? See our <a href="../calendar" class="liinternal">events calendar</a> for contact opportunities &nbsp;</p>

Nu 8 jaar later is MAG Productions failliet. Met o.a. vakantiehuisje.nl bouwde Martijn zijn bedrijf uit naar 15 medewerkers met de ambitie om te groeien naar 30. Op dat moment ging het mis. Met een ervaring rijker en een illusie armer vertelt Martijn tijdens deze Route Suc6 bijeenkomst over dit verlies en de problemen waar hij tegenaan is gelopen.</p>
<p>De lezing zal gegeven worden op dinsdag 9 februari 2010 om 19.00 uur in The Corridor (Hengelosestraat 525). De Route Suc6 bijeenkomsten worden georganiseerd door Kennispark Twente in samenwerking met de Kamer van Koophandel Oost Nederland en SKIO (Saxion Kenniscentrum voor Innovatie en Ondernemerschap). De bijeenkomsten richten zich in het bijzonder op jonge ondernemers waarbij een gevestigde ondernemer zijn succesverhaal komt vertellen. Zie de <a href="http://www.studentondernemer.nl/suc66/" class="liexternal">Route Suc6</a> website voor aanmelding en meer informatie.</p>

<p>Again a new <a href="http://www.venturelabtwente.com/press/podcasts/podcast-de-rol-van-vlt-bij-business-development/" class="liinternal">podcast</a>, this time about Business Development: how to renew yourself from within a company. The podcast is in Dutch and so is this news.</p>
<p>Op 12 november vond een thema bijeenkomst plaats van de <a href="http://www.vbdn.nl/" class="liexternal">Vereniging Business Development Nederland</a> (VBDN) over &#8216;incubating&#8217; (to grow under conditions that promote development). Aard Groen heeft hier gesproken over incubating volgens de VentureLab formule, en over high-tech marketing en Business Development. Hij maakt duidelijk dat VentureLab Twente er niet alleen voor (startende) zelfstandig ondernemers is; ook binnen bestaande bedrijven zijn er mooie innovatieve ideeën waarvoor begeleiding gewenst kan zijn.<span id="more-1338"></span></p>
<div id="" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" style="margin:10px 5px 0px 0!important;float:right!important;">
<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"><a href="http://www.vbdn.nl/?Het_bestuur_van_VBDN" ><img src="http://www.venturelabtwente.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/koenmioulet1.jpg" alt="koenmioulet" title="koenmioulet" width="90" height="90" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1367" /></a></div>
</div>
<p>In de podcast komt ook Koen Mioulet van VBDN aan het woord. Hij legt uit wat Business Development is en welke rol hij hierin voor een VentureLab ziet. Dit wordt gevolgd door een voorbeeld uit de praktijk: Dhr. van Rongen, die zich bij een Canadees bedrijf o.a. bezig houdt met de technische kant van kilometerheffing&#8230;</p>
<p>Een niet te missen podcast voor iedereen die in Business Development geïnteresseerd is. Beluister het <a href="http://www.venturelabtwente.com/press/podcasts/podcast-de-rol-van-vlt-bij-business-development/" class="liinternal">hier</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="http://www.venturelabtwente.com/press/podcasts/podcast-aard-groen-op-rwi-najaarscongres-over-zzpers/" class="liinternal">new podcast</a> about a different way of working: ZZP. It&#8217;s in Dutch so the rest of the news is also in Dutch.</p>
<div id="" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" style="margin:0px 5px 0px 0!important">
<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail"><a href="http://www2.rwi.nl/Content2.aspx?PGID=234fc49a-f11a-4754-b9af-5ae98db4b961" ><img src="http://www.venturelabtwente.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/rwi_najaarscongres1.jpg" alt="rwi_najaarscongres" title="rwi_najaarscongres" width="150" height="109" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1321" /></a></div>
</div>
<p>Ze zijn de laatste tijd steeds meer in het nieuws: de Zelfstandigen Zonder Personeel (ZZP). Deze vorm van werken is namelijk vrij nieuw en in tijden van crisis kan dit voor velen een uitkomst bieden. Volgens Aard Groen zijn het niet echte ondernemers, omdat ze bijvoorbeeld er niet op uit zijn om te groeien. Maar het zijn ook geen werknemers, want ze richten wel voor eigen risico en rekening een onderneming op. </p>
<p>Omdat de ZZPers er dus eigenlijk tussenin vallen is niet duidelijk hoe de zaken geregeld moeten worden: wie onderhandeld over het loon en de werktijden? Wie regelt de verzekeringen? (bijvoorbeeld bij arbeidsongeschiktheid). Een belangrijke vraag die hierop volgt: is dit alleen ‘een nieuwe manier van werken’ of juist ‘dé nieuwe manier van werken’? Wordt iedereen in de toekomst misschien wel een soort ZZPer? <span id="more-1287"></span></p>
<p>Volgens Aard Groen gaan we ‘back to the future’ als werknemers in de toekomst zelf alles moeten regelen. Het zou volgens hem als de gildes in de middeleeuwen zijn… Dhr. Biesheuvel, voorzitter van de <a href="http://www2.rwi.nl/nl-NL" class="liexternal">Raad voor Werk en Inkomen</a> (RWI), meent: &#8220;De gilde vind ik toch wel iets heel moois hoor!&#8221; Hij geeft aan dat het <a href="http://www.pzo.nl/" class="liexternal">Platform Zelfstandige Ondernemers</a> (PZO) misschien wel een rol kan spelen in het collectief verzekeren van ZZPers. </p>
<p>Esther Raats, voorzitter van het PZO, vindt dat we allereerst niet aan het punt voorbij moeten gaan dat op dit moment de mogelijkheden voor iemand met een uitkering om ZZPer te worden erg beperkt zijn. Dit levert allerlei problemen op…</p>
<p>Dit alles en meer in de nieuwe podcast die <a href="http://www.venturelabtwente.com/press/podcasts/podcast-aard-groen-op-rwi-najaarscongres-over-zzpers/" class="liinternal">hier</a> te vinden is!
