Rene Bakker

Prof. Dr. Rene Bakker (1982) is a professor in the areas of inclusion and the inclusive labor market, author, and speaker. As a business economist, his unique expertise lies in mapping the economic value of inclusion and accessibility. His motto is that inclusive entrepreneurship is about inclusion, but also business! Rene clearly explains the business case for inclusion and accessibility for entrepreneurs, employers, and the Netherlands as a whole, in terms of both returns and risks. His own personal story of acceptance, stigma, and belief in one’s own strength is woven into this.
