In this series of posts, we highlighted individuals, organizations, and initiatives with innovative approaches to talent from Getro's network. We talked to [Sasja Heijman](https://nl.linkedin.com/in/sasjaheijman), Program Manager International Talent at [InnovationQuarter](https://www.innovationquarter.nl/en/), to discuss talents, network, and how they leverage [Findem Regional Job Boards](https://www.findem.ai/products/regional-job-boards) to help strengthen the regional economic structure in the greater Rotterdam – The Hague area (Netherlands). ## Stimulating innovation Founded in 2014, InnovationQuarter is a regional economic development agency financed by public partners to stimulate the regional economy of the greater Rotterdam - The Hague area in the Netherlands. The team acts as independent process directors to provide knowledge and expertise and facilitate network opportunities. In fulfilling this role, they are constantly in touch with major corporations, young technology companies, and knowledge insti­tutions. As the organization keeps on growing, its main objectives are: - Investing in innovative Dutch startups located in the region - Attracting and supporting international companies to settle in the region - Assisting local companies in exploring international markets - Stimulating cooperation between knowledge institutes and companies to boost innovation - Developing an international talent program (attraction and retention) 💡 The key to succeeding in this new ambitious program? Connecting Talent with tailor-made know-how and key networks, especially in sectors in which the region excels, such as Life Sciences & Health, Digital Technology, Cybersecurity, High Tech, and Maritime & Port. In our interview with Sasja, she pointed out that this was where Getro came in - allowing talent to see all of the opportunities available in the Greater Rotterdam - The Hague area’s network of companies around the different targeted industries. ## Filling an urgent need In 2022, InnovationQuarter came to Getro with an urgent need to update their network with new open roles as soon as they were available, without doing any manual work. In spring 2022, with the arrival of 76,600 refugees from Ukraine, InnovationQuarter saw the emergence of questions like: _❓Where can people relocating to the region easily find English job openings?_ _❓Is there one place that currently references all the available job opportunities?_ The urgency of the situation helped InnovationQuarter and its partners to go with Getro; in 10 days, in close cooperation with the International Centers of The Hague, Rotterdam, and Leiden, the regional Job Board was live and able to assist international talent in their job search!
