In April, the European Commission awarded the European Capital of Innovation (iCapital) award to Amsterdam. A prize of €950,000 will be used to scale up and expand the city’s efforts on innovation. Amsterdam was chosen from a pool of 36 cities from 12 countries, based on its approach to innovation in governance, economics, social inclusion, and a quality of life.

Could there be a better place, then, for NEXT to put down roots? We think not.

“Collaborne is dedicated to innovation. We strive to provide the best practices, applications and analytics enterprises need to foster creativity, collaboration, and transformation. Efforts in innovation from the city of Amsterdam have resulted in Collaborne’s base of operations becoming the ultimate urban example of what we, as an organization, aim to be.” — Moodi Mahmoudi, Collaborne CEO

So thank you, Innovative Amsterdam, and all who work and live and seek greatness within its canal-bracketed beauty. Collaborne could not be more proud — or more honored — to call you home.
