His family story, rooted in Tegelen's ceramic industry, provides the basis for a contemporary concept that brings together gastronomy, sustainability and innovation. <span class=\"afbreken-einde-zin\">A <\/span>Wonderful example of how a historic site is given a new purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Platte-tekst\">Talent award winner Emiel Zeevenhoven also proved with IJsco Fantastico that historic locations and artisanal craftsmanship can go hand in hand. <span class=\"afbreken-einde-zin\">From <\/span>the iconic ice cream parlour on Maasboulevard to the Chocolate Factory next to the old Nedinsco factory: each place tells a story that it manages to enhance with taste and vision. Historic heritage is thus not only preserved but also given new meaning in modern city life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Platte-tekst\">An attractive Venlo city centre is of great importance to both entrepreneurs and residents. Here, history and entrepreneurship can go hand in hand and together create a unique added value that keeps the city alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Tussenkopje\"><strong>Bart Maes<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Publisher magazine O.Venlo<br \/>\n<\/em><a href=\"mailto:b.maes@art-is.nl\"><em><span class=\"CharOverride-10\">b.maes@art-is.nl<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De kracht van een stad ligt niet alleen in haar ondernemers, maar ook in haar geschiedenis.
