Daan studied Business Adminstration and holds a Master degree in Digital innovation. After leaving the VU university, Daan started working on several projects within the virtual reality domain. While doing some of the projects in the public sector, he started to gain interest in adding more value to society.
Today Daan is developing initiatives that can improve a citizen’s customers journey, especially in terms of safety & security. In a public-private partnership he is trying to find the right improvements that can aid to the livability of the city. His aim is to create a ‘livable’ city. Not only by introducing physical assets, but also to explore the digital world and its applications in a urban environment. Daan is always trying to find the right balance between the different aspects that innovation brings along. In the end, it is about finding the right effective solution while taking all the different aspects such as feasibility, privacy and ethics into account.
