The Challenge Engineering

Sounding of the gong for The Challenge Engineering

Yacht Engineering, Het Financieele Dagblad and BNR Nieuwsradio open trading at the Amsterdam exchange for The Challenge Engineering. The gong is sounded by Ard Kistemaker, Operational Director Yacht Engineering & Supply Chain Management & Procurement, accompanied by members of The Challenge-team.

Media companies Het Financieele Dagblad and BNR Nieuwsradio and recruitment agency Yacht organize a series of events called The Challenge; a quest for the best professional in a certain domain. During dynamic, interactive business events five selected finalists battle for the win in their field of expertise. By participating in The Challenge, professionals can show off their knowledge and skills and make a difference both to their area of expertise and the community/society.

The grand finale of The Challenge Engineering took place on 23 June 2016. The case at hand was how to make a Super Smart Energy City out of a city such as Amsterdam before 2050. The Challenge Engineering 2016 was won by Jasper Tonen, a policy officer at the city of Groningen. Both the jury and the audience valued his plans and input best. Prior to The Challenge Engineering Yacht and Het Financieele Dagblad organized The Challenge Finance 2016. The next Challenge, in March 2017, will be focusing on the search for the best IT Professionals of 2017. Yacht is part of Euronext listed Randstad (ticker symbol: RAND).
