Thijmen van Bree
I am Thijmen van Bree, senior economic researcher and consultant at TNO Vector. As a general/spatial economist I work on foresights, impact analyses and assessments around major societal challenges, transitions and transformations, regional and urban development and societal impact of innovation.
For example: labor market issues in the energy transition, the future of Dutch industry and the earning capacity of the Netherlands, the societal impact of new technology, key enabling technologies, mission-oriented innovation policy and (regional) innovation ecosystems. In interpreting the economic and societal impact, I look through the lens of broad welfare. With my research I often support policy and decision making within ministries and other government departments, provinces, (metropolitan) regions and municipalities.
