The moderator of our 2025 Entrepreneurshiop awards will be Alijd van Doorn
We are delighted to announce that Alijd van Doorn will moderate this year’s BK-Launch Entrepreneurship Awards. With her unique blend of academic insight, practical experience, and entrepreneurial spirit, Alijd is the perfect guide for an evening celebrating innovation in the built environment.
Alijd graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft in 2000, where her thesis on ‘Design Management’ explored the tension and potential synergy between creativity and management in architectural practice. She has since held managing roles at de Architekten Cie. and Mecanoo, worked as assistant professor at TU Delft and wrote for ‘De Architect’. Today she serves as Director of the architectural firm at Heembouw.
Committed to supporting the generation of entrepreneurs, she co-foundes Startruimte 010, a platform that helped starting firms in the built environment in the midst of an economic crisis. For 4 years already, she also hosted the popular workshop series “How do I start my own Design Firm” in collaboration with BK-launch.
