Collaboration for Twente by Government, Education, and Entrepreneurs within the Twente Board
The Twente Board brings together representatives from government, education, and business to promote regional development in Twente. Each of these three sectors has three voting members (executives) on the Board. Additionally, there is a voting quality seat, always held by the Municipality of Enschede, and an advisory seat for the Province of Overijssel. The independent chairperson, Ank Bijleveld, leads the Twente Board, with a focus on collaboration and progress.
