"Thank you for organizing this event. Fascinating and diverse mix of actors where I have gained contacts that are relevant for our future plans" Frank Nagel - Rabo Partnerships
"We were delighted to participate in the event and got a lot of content to expand our systemic view to investing in the sector. I liked specifically the presentations about land rights, satélites and taxes, which open up the scope." Private Investor
"The programme was filled with valuable presentations covering a wide variety of subjects and perspectives related to forestry investments that were just as diverse as the people present. By that, it created multiple new synergies and I look forward to a follow-up for more in-depth conversations and the development of new ideas and solutions together " Annerieke Sleurink - FSC Nederland.
“The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) actively stimulates the development and use of services based on satellite data, to bring the benefits of space to society. The event was an opportunity to share that all stakeholders, including investors and local people, need to have access to objective and consistent information.” Space solutions help to address issues of land degradation, deforestation, desertification, land productivity, and carbon stocks.” Ruud Grim and Elise van Tilborg - Netherlands Space Office
