Buying Back the Planet
“The Hague is a fantastic place to build an impact company. I originally moved here for the international institutions, but stayed because of the incredible opportunities to work on peace and climate justice. For more than 18 years I’ve been able to collaborate across sectors and organizations without ever leaving the city. As a founder today, The Hague continues to open doors through its strong ecosystem and global connections. Seeing the Peace Palace on my way to work is a constant reminder that standing up for what’s right truly matters and that I’m part of a community working together towards a better future.”
