# BUas students host culinary evening for Queen Máxima at King Willem I Prize Networking Event

 

Last night, Queen Máxima was a guest at the Breda University of Applied Sciences campus for the networking event organised by the **King Willem I** **Foundation.**

 

 

 

 

 

 Her Majesty was warmly welcomed by **Ingrid Timmermans** (Vice President of BUas), **Arjen van Drunen** (Deputy Mayor of **the Municipality of Breda**) and **Martijn van Gruijthuijsen** (Deputy King's Commissioner in the **Province of Noord-Brabant)**. The event was attended by members of the Dutch press.

In a panel discussion in the BUas chapel, the winners of the King Willem I Prize 2024 – **Royal Cosun, Lagemaat Sloopwerken** and **Fairphone** – shared their vision of innovation and the future of entrepreneurship in the Netherlands together with young talents. The presentation was led by **Talitha Muusse**.

Our [**Hotel Management**](https://www.buas.nl/en/programmes/hotel-management) students and [**Sibelicious** training restaurant](https://sibelicious.buas.nl/) provided the culinary experience for the evening. What an honour!
