Tamara Oukes
I am Tamara Oukes, a dedicated and curious researcher in the field of collaborative business models at TNO. Currently, I am involved in developing collaborative business models for public and private organizations that leverage digital solutions to create a sustainable world.
I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Twente, as well as a Master's degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from the Technical University of Berlin. In 2018, I completed my PhD at the University of Twente, focusing on the influence of power dynamics on collaboration between companies and organizations. After working as an assistant professor for five years, teaching innovation and entrepreneurship to technical students and conducting research on collaborative business models for sustainable companies in developing countries, I joined TNO in May 2023.
My passion lies in resolving conflicts that often arise between companies and organizations collaborating on pressing challenges, such as the energy crisis and social inequality.
