#24 Vincent Habers increasingly sees working with data as a professional responsibility
In this episode of DMI Doet, Jan-Willem Wesselink talks to Vincent Habers, one of the founders of the DMI ecosystem.

Maarten Veeger, former director of physical affairs at the municipality of Zwolle (and, as of September, civil servant responsible for mobility, energy, and information locations), explains how these insights help to steer policy and what role administrative courage plays in making difficult choices. He also discusses the changing role of policy advisors and explains why networks such as DMI are essential to accelerating digital transformation. Listen to this episode of DMI Doet now!
