    Stichting Museumnacht Amsterdam – 20 years

    The gong is sounded by Jordy den Haan, Project Manager at Stichting N8 I Museum Night Amsterdam. The occasion is the foundation's 20-year anniversary. In addition, 2019 is Jordy's last Museum Night. All in all a festive year!

    20 years of Museum Night Amsterdam

    Museum Night Amsterdam has become one of the largest cultural events in Amsterdam in 20 years. Museum Night Amsterdam introduces and connects a young and local audience with the Amsterdam museums. For this target group, Museum Night is the gateway to the museums in their city and wants to inspire and convince them that these museums are also there for them. The first and largest museum night in the Netherlands now attracts more than 32,000 visitors, about half of whom actually come for the first time and nearly 80% are younger than 35 years. Museum Night provides its visitors with a first experience in the museum every year: whether it is Museum Night in Amsterdam for the first time or your twentieth. Every edition is unique and feels like an introduction.

    About the N8 Foundation

    The N8 Foundation is the laboratory for museum youth marketing, aimed at as many as possible, preferably all youth target groups of Amsterdam. This includes all activities, with the annual Museum Night as the focal point. This year, Museum Night Amsterdam takes place on Saturday, November 2, 2019. Between 19:00 and 02:00, the Amsterdam museums open their doors at night to welcome a young audience. Inspired by the permanent collection or temporary exhibitions, the participating locations have put together a special program for a young audience.

    Lucas Vuurmans, Senior Portofolio Manager of the Kempen Global Property Fund, sounds the gong for the 5-year anniversary of Kempen Global Property Fund NV.

    This month, the Kempen Global Property Strategy celebrates its fifth anniversary. This milestone coincides with attaining the highest position in the Morningstar database: the average annual return of the Kempen Global Property Fund N.V. over the five-year period is 12.7% (net). This is substantially higher (net annual average of 2.7%) than the benchmark (FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Developed Index)*.

    The strategy also scores high on sustainability aspects, with Morningstar awarding four points, so-called sustainability globes, on the sustainability rating scale.

    Egbert explains: “With our team of experienced real estate investors, we apply a unique, data-driven investment process that allows us to analyse approximately 25 million relevant data points for 200,000 properties around the world. These data are processed in our own data infrastructure into useful and relevant investment information.

    “This enormous quantity of available data enables us to make a better assessment of the quality and risks of the real estate. This leads to better investment decisions, which in turn results in higher investment returns at lower risks for our clients. We are very proud of the fact that this approach yields excellent results for our clients.”

    Stadsarchief Amsterdam – Amsterdam 744 years

    Bert de Vries, director of Stadsarchief Amsterdam, announces the Birthday of Amsterdam with the gong. On October 27, 1275, Floris the Fifth, Count of Holland  granted Amsterdammers toll exemption in his county. The Tolprivilege is the oldest document in Amsterdam and the basis for the powerful, prosperous and tolerant trading city.

    The Tolprivilege laid the foundation for Amsterdam that would grow into the most powerful trading city in the world in the seventeenth century. The City Archives preserves the Tolprivilege and all other archive records of Amsterdam. In the document from 1275, Amstelledamme is mentioned for the first time in history. Count Floris V (the Fifth) granted toll-free freedom for "People staying near the Amsteldam" to transport their wares through the County of Holland. This cost advantage laid the foundation for the then young trading city. Based on the year 1275, mentioned in this insignificant but meaningful document, Amsterdam will turn out big in 2025 with the celebration of its 750 anniversary.

    The Amsterdam City Archives preserves the archives of the municipal government, besides those of private institutions, families or individuals, and companies connected with the city. In addition, the City Archives houses a large collection of images and audio-visual material, as well as a library.

    Among the various documents of international significance kept at the Amsterdam City Archives are the archives of the Heineken brewery and the renowned Concertgebouw, letters written by Charles Darwin and Mahatma Gandhi, an eighteenth-century trade agreement between the city and the newly founded United States of America, the book containing the excommunication of seventeenth-century philosopher Spinoza, and a police report about the theft of Anne Frank’s bike in 1942.

    Archival material is made available for consultation both on site and through the internet. The website of the Amsterdam City Archives features an Image Bank, containing more than 460.000 photos, drawings, and prints related to the city, and an Archives Database, providing scans of archival material on request, including a wealth of sources for genealogical research, accessible through several indexes. These scans now number more than seven million.

    The Amsterdam City Archives shares the available expertise on Amsterdam and its history through exhibitions, publications, films and events. Noteworthy documents are on permanent display in the so-called: Amsterdam Treasure Room. Wander through the Treasure Room, dating from 1926. Find out about Rembrandt or Johan Cruyff and their times. Marvel at the medieval charter cabinet. And follow the change from a small city in a medieval world to a world city in our times. Historical films about Amsterdam are shown in a small movie theatre.

    Icoinic – Winner Cashcow Award 2019

    Arthur Stolk, managing director Icoinic, sounds the gong on the occasion of Icoinic winning the Cash Cow Award 2019 for Best Dutch Crypto Fund.

    This being the first presentation of the award category, combined with crypto investments being a full part of the BeleggersFair for the first time, is indicative for the increasing interest in cryptocurrencies.

    In the weeks leading up to the event, the public had an opportunity to vote and select the winner from five nominated crypto funds. Icoinic had a lot of support to fall back on. What stood out was their algorithmic approach to the vastly fluctuating crypto market.  Participants also praised Icoinic’s pioneering spirit and character. ‘It’s extremely helpful to have a good Dutch organization around.’

    Cryptocurrencies are known for their extreme price volatility, and prices can differ vastly from one minute to the next. Says Stolk: ‘Our algorithm can react to market developments and knows how to cushion them if necessary. To me, this award is a tangible acknowledgement for the hard work we do.’

    Finance is widely seen as an obstacle to a better world. Principles of Sustainable Finance explains how the financial sector can be mobilized to counter this.

It shows how finance can steer funding to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy. It analyses the Sustainable Development Goals as a strategy for a better world and provides evidence that environmental, social, and governance factors matter, explaining in detail how to incorporate these factors in the corporate and financial sectors.

     

    About the Erasmus Platform for Sustainable Value Creation

    A conclusion from this analysis is that relatively young municipalities ánd municipalities with a lot of new houses, are scoring higher in the ranking, whilst municipalities with large historical areas are challenged to make their buildings sustainable. Sustainable houses and buildings are an important tool to reduce the use of energy and to achieve the climate goals. 

    To analyse the energy labels, Sweco used their self-developed tool the Energy Strategy Atlas: a GeoWeb tool based on public data, combining more than 70 map layers with local data and analytics.

    Goli Abdurahman, active member of Borstkankervereniging Nederland, opened the stock exchange to draw more attention for people with breastcancer or genetic predisposition for breastcancer.

     

    About breastcancer awareness month

    October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Every year, more than 17.000 Dutch women and more than 100 men get breast cancer. Breast cancer has many faces. There are different types of breast cancer and all kinds of people are affected by it: young women, older women, people with metastatic breast cancer, with hereditary predisposition to breast cancer and men. Every patient experiences breast cancer differently. Not only when it comes to treatment, but also when it comes to consequences. From chronic fatigue to sexual problems. From physical complaints to misunderstanding at work. From fear of return to broken relationships. Support all these people in October.

     

    About Borstkankervereniging Nederland

    Borstkankervereniging Nederland is a professional patient organization for everyone who has (had) to deal with breast cancer, or has a hereditary or familial predisposition to breast cancer.
