partners

The Knowmads is one of the first schools of its kind to be established outside the framework of the established and traditional higher educational system in The Netherlands.

To achieve this sustainably the school is engaging in long-term financial and value-based relationships with a group of visionary founding partners in the Dutch corporate world.

We are proud to present to you the following partners whom are going to
have their Knomadic journey with us:

Scout Herremans -KLM

“Working with Knowmads will enable us to work with students whom are prepared to think out‐of‐the box and come up with extraordinary propositions for our flying proposition. Looking forward to working with this highly motivated group of international young people”

Max Christern -Ode

“I hope Knowmads and Ode Magazine will inspire each other and that the Knowmads team will be the very first team of students that will actually generate structural growth for the number of printed Ode magazines.
I hope Knowmads can come up with an original stunt that will bring Ode Magazine to the centre of (media) attention. And vice versa I want to make room in our magazine for Knowmads news whenever the occasion presents itself”

Ruud Koornstra -TENDRIS

“Tendris supports the body of thought of Knowmads. We are looking forward to a drastic change of course. We believe this is only possible with people who are able to translate authentic and creative ideas to practical solutions. With the educational vision of Knowmads the creative ability of young people is stimulated and developed and that is what the world needs now.”

Roel van den Berg -AR

“I hope the curiosity and energy of the Knowmads will make sure that together we can create and apply a new and unique view upon the world for A2R and our clients.
As a project manager at different clients I think the Knowmads can be a real sparring partner for management teams. Also in New Business organisations I expect a lot from Knowmads.”

Liesbeth Schipper Royal Haskoning

“Under the motto “grain, trees and education” Royal Haskoning SMC strategy and management consultants, together with clients and partners, wants to contribute to societal transitions leading to sustainable development out of a transparent and independent role.

A cooperation with Knowmads appeals to us as we are striving to establish connections between generations, social challenges and knowledge in an international context.

It also fits well in our Change Network, from which we change together in the joyful knowledge that new assignments ask for more diversity, more quality, more co‐creation and long‐term perspectives”.
