#205: Ingo Uytdehaage (Adyen) & Jessica Peters-Hondelink (Amsterdam Economic Board) - tech-ecosystemen, AI, digitale autonomie, talent en samenwerking

In this episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, host Jeroen Broekema speaks with Ingo Uytdehaage, co-CEO of Adyen, and Jessica Peters-Hondelink, Directeur-bestuurder and CEO of Amsterdam Economic Board.

The conversation explores what has made Amsterdam one of Europe's leading technology and fintech hubs, and what is needed to maintain that position in the years ahead. Topics include entrepreneurship, talent, public-private cooperation, AI, digital autonomy, regulation, housing, infrastructure and the role of government in creating a competitive business climate.

Ingo reflects on Adyen's growth from a small Amsterdam startup into a global fintech company with more than 5,000 employees, while Jessica explains how Amsterdam Economic Board brings together businesses, governments and knowledge institutions to strengthen the region's innovation ecosystem. Together, they discuss why collaboration, long-term ambition and a strong technology ecosystem are essential for the future of the Dutch economy.
