After 2 intensive days with activities like business game, elevator pitch, debate and rugby matches, the first round of the Talent Days reached its end appointing 6 finalists: Anouk van Splunteren, Barbara Jepma, Inez van der Sande, Merel Vis, Nicky Franken and Rutger Pruis. These 6 participants will now proceed to the final round and will compete for scholarship awards. “It was really gratifying to see the way all participants were getting involved in the activities”, says Timo Timmerman – Dean of New Business School, “their commitment and interest in each task was overwhelming. At the end, it was really hard for the facilitators to select the 6 finalists”.

But the hardest part of the contest is yet to come. In the next phase, the finalists will have to bring more of their personalities into the game and showcase their skills. The final round of the Talent Days (December Edition) will happen on 13 January 2012, in our venue located at Weteringschans 165, 1017 XD – Amsterdam.
The Talent Days is an event that has 4 editions per year (in April, May, June and December) and is a unique opportunity for students that graduated or expect to graduate from VWO, HAVO or IB, to discover their business talents and if their motivations and ambitions fit the BBA New Business Bachelor Programme at New Business School, Amsterdam.
Nyenrode is the only private university in the Netherlands. In 1946, captains of industry from leading Dutch corporations as KLM, Shell, Unilever, Philips and Akzo, took the initiative to start an institute where an action-inclined, internationally focused generation of new business leaders would be educated. Nyenrode’s ambition is to deepen the knowledge of our internationally oriented, carefully selected students towards sustainable leaders, robust accountants and agile and creative entrepreneurs. For business, by business has been our motto from the day our institute was established. It still defines the university and assures that practical relevance is of main importance to our faculty.
New Business School, Amsterdam (part of Nyenrode Business Universiteit) opened in 2006, in cooperation with the University of Westminster, and offers an international Bachelor degree in New Business. Both academic development and professional development are central to the programme: it represents the third path in higher education in the Netherlands that allows students to develop themselves into creative and responsible business men and women. Projects in India, Ethiopia and China and a semester in London contribute to the student’s international ambitions.
