In an era where the demand for specialized talent far exceeds supply, the battle to attract and retain skilled professionals has intensified, especially in the critical sectors of Health and HighTech. As small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) strive to compete in these competitive markets, the question looms large: How do we attract the talent necessary to innovate and thrive?

This meeting is dedicated to unraveling the complexities of the current talent shortage and exploring strategic approaches to talent acquisition and retention. We aim to look beyond conventional hiring practices and consider innovative perspectives on jobs, work, and talent identification.

We invite our network interested in the future of talent acquisition in the Health and HighTech industries to join us for a session of insightful discussions and networking. Together, let’s discover how we can adapt, innovate, and succeed in attracting the talent that will drive your businesses forward.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights about Gen Z and strategies to overcome the talent challenge in today’s competitive landscape. See you there!

Speakers

Renate Bouwman, The Economic Board Arnhem-Nijmegen, Human Capital; Working together for a labour market that works!

In this region, entrepreneurs, knowledge institutions and government are working together on the talent needed for the transitions in the care, technology and energy sectors. Make your contribution to these initiatives and join in as talent or as an entrepreneur!

Angelique Driessens, 3sense; Collaboration Between Different Generations in the Workplace: Tips for Success

Working well with colleagues isn’t always a breeze, especially when they’ve grown up in different times. Millennials and Baby Boomers, for example, have pretty different work styles. As a manager, you’ve got a mix of at least three generations on your team. How do you make sure they all work together smoothly?

Sanne Pas, Kracht Recruitment; Recruiting with your community!

A recruitment platform that makes hiring more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective for all community members. How? By running effective recruitment campaigns and building a shared talent pool. There are countless reasons why that one applicant may not be the right fit at the moment. But imagine if you could also see the applicants from your neighbours? How many more talented people could we connect to this region?

Healthcare is on the brink of a crisis. Without intervention the number of people working in healthcare would grow from 1 in 7 employees to 1 in 4, straining our labor market to its limits. The main cause is the ageing society and a shrinking pool of young healthcare workers.

You can also say we’re facing a potential, especially in (elderly)  care. It’s time for innovative solutions! Technology can support this. However, we won’t solve the labor market problems with more innovative technology alone. A transformation of care is needed and this cannot be done from 1 sector alone. We also need cutting-edge living and care models that boost independence and harness the power of informal care. To succeed, it is necessary to pair up with all parties active in in the field of health care and the living environment.

During this SMB meeting we will discuss several regional actions to fundamentally improve elderly care including the digital health challenge lab (DHCL).

In DHCL the frustrations and desires (challenges) of residents, housing associations, healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations around their (own) health, healthcare supply and the healthcare process are collected, answered and solved. On the basis of these challenges, companies can specifically develop innovative products and/or services for which there is actual demand and support. After all, a challenge is a problem with a business case!

Speakers are:

Caroline Vos – Tolhuisen, Volkshuisvesting Arnhem
Ciska Rouw, RIBW Arnhem & Veluwe Vallei
Maurice Magnee, HAN University of Applied Sciences

Nijmegen is the city of Health and Hightech. Of course in many cases these are seperate sectors but in some cases they strengthen each other. Hightech  has a lot of new potential for healthcare by using photonics in diagnostics, organ on a chip models and lab on a chip test.

Our SMB-network meeting on 2nd of November will show some interesting examples of the crossover between Health and Hightech. Ourobionics.com creates bio engineered skin tissue through a 3D printing technique that can be used as models in testing leading fewer animal testing. Surfixdx.com created a photonics sensor and assay to detect specific biomarkers, for example in relation to testing for cancer.

Surfixdx and Ourobionics will give a presentation on their technology during the meeting. After the program there is ample opportunity to network and create net links between the health and the hightech sector.
