At the Business Lunch Talk, Sterk Fries Ondernemerschap brings you a free lunch and an inspiring entrepreneur.

On the 5th of March we have a great speaker lined up for you! The guest speaker will be non other than Luuc Elzinga, the CEO of Tiqets. One of the most rapidly growing companies in Europe at the moment. Their mission is to make culture more accessible. How? By removing all obstacles, so that more people, more often, can discover hidden gems as well as large top museums.

Tiqets is the world's best rated ticket platform for museums and attractions on Trustpilot. Currently, the company offers tickets in 140 cities in 43 countries and employs around 120 people in ten countries (including the US and Japan).

Tiqets is active in the tech business. A challenging industry with a clear motto: “you take everything or you disappear!”. Because money is the most important fuel for growth, Elzinga and his team are constantly looking for ways to grow in resources and capital. With success, as Airbnb, among others, have invested $60 million (€54 million) in the Dutch ticket platform!

How did this born Frisian achieve such amazing success? What does it take to convince and attract companies as big as Airbnb?

Luuc is going to tell you all about it during this special Business Lunch Talk. He will take you along in his challenging and inspiring story. Including the f*ck-ups he made along the way. Let's face it, don't we all dream of such greatness? Come join us, get inspired and learn from one of Friesland's best entrepreneurs!

In the meantime, enjoy your free B.L.T. sandwich. Did you finish your lunch? Then you're probably still hungry for knowledge! Luckily for you, there's plenty of time for questions from the audience.

📍 The event takes place in the NHL building, in 'the pit' next to the canteen.
