A Platform for Innovation and Collaboration
The Click&Connect event, scheduled for November 22, 2025, at the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations in The Hague, aims to foster innovation and collaboration among professionals in the public sector. This initiative, organized by Rijks I-Stage, provides a unique opportunity for policymakers, start-up founders, and innovation managers to exchange ideas and explore innovative solutions in governance and public services [1].
Engaging with Cutting-edge Projects
Participants at the event will have the chance to engage with a range of cutting-edge projects and initiatives that focus on enhancing digitalization within the public sector. This is particularly relevant as the Netherlands continues to prioritize digital transformation as a key component of its national strategy. The event will feature interactive sessions with ICT employees from various national organizations, offering insights into available internships, research assignments, and traineeships [1].
Opportunities for Professional Growth
Click&Connect will also serve as a recruitment platform, where attendees can discover opportunities for professional growth, such as I-stages, I-traineeships, and other roles within the digital domain. The event structure includes an introductory session, informative presentations, and a ‘Meet & Greet’ session with representatives from government organizations, concluding with a social gathering [1].
Driving Change in Public Services
As part of the broader efforts to digitalize and innovate within the public sector, Click&Connect stands out as a pivotal event. It aims to bridge gaps between government initiatives and private sector innovations, ensuring that public services remain efficient and responsive to contemporary challenges. This aligns with the Dutch government’s commitment to fostering an innovative ecosystem that supports economic growth and sustainability [1][4].
