How do we build a society that is in balance with people, nature, and future generations? On the Day of Broad Prosperity on November 10, we will explore together how broad prosperity can be the compass for a strong and sustainable future.

The province of North Brabant and Tilburg University cordially invite you to a day full of inspiration, encounters, and collaboration on the campus of Tilburg University. Get inspired by speakers who share their vision on broad prosperity from the perspectives of youth participation, economics, and leadership. The break-out sessions offer the opportunity to explore topics further and actively think about solutions. During lunch and networking drinks, there is ample room to make new connections.
