Digital Business & Innovation (DBI) Masters graduation 2024

28 October 2024
On Thursday, October 24th, we held the annual Graduation Event for the Digital Business & Innovation (DBI) Master’s program at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. We celebrated our past and future achievements and warmly congratulated each DBI student from the 2023-2024 cohort.

Over 70 graduates joined us to celebrate completing the program in the past academic year. Together with their families and friends, we recognized their achievements in this significant milestone. The exceptional Marijn Plomp led the ceremony where the committee members— Maura Soekijad, Frans Feldberg, Edona Elshan, Hans Berends and Bart van den Hooff from the KIN Center for Digital Innovation — handed over the degree certificates to the candidates. 

This year’s DBI Thesis Award went to Noah Menagé, with Rolf van Baar and Mina Steinmetz as runners-up. In conversations with the graduates, many expressed enthusiasm for the program’s hands-on approach and its relevance to their careers, with most having secured employment even before graduation. They also appreciated the personal focus of the program and the practical experience of working on various projects together with real-world organizations.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all DBI students who graduated this year and invite everyone to join the DBI Alumni LinkedIn group to stay in touch.

"My time within the DBI program has helped me understand what impact emerging technologies have. The courses taught during the program gave me the knowledge to achieve my first professional position as an AI innovator within the Dutch government. Our mission - create meaningful change across the participating provinces. I have only recently graduated, but I already feel that the impact and relevance of the frameworks taught are truly relevant."
