Frits Bussemaker

Community Builder at Korstmos | The Netherlands

As the owner of Dutch company Korstmos, Fritz Bussemaker is a passionate connector of people. While he sees that technology, collaboration, and non-hierarchical relationships shape the current 4th industrial wave, Frits asks how this has an impact on how we organise the modern city with people at its heart. With more than 20 years of hands-on experience in community-building, Frits has reimagined what success looks like in the contemporary urban arena. His work puts local people at the forefront of transformation and asks the pressing questions that underpin his vision of a Connect-and-Collaborate society: questions like ‘what do we have in common?’ and ‘how do we complement each other?’.
