Stories
We take you through a range of stories from Life & Pension over the past year. And the unifying factor? Pension.
Bas
Bas Huijbrechts from Bavel is a Business Developer at TNO. In his spare time, he enjoys making his home more sustainable. And after his retirement? Then he will see what comes his way. That could very possibly be something involving quantum computers, if they are affordable at that time. Want to read his story again? This was Bas' story in the March 2025 Life & Pension.
Hans, Nancy and Suzanne
On 4 February 2025, Suzanne van Kooten, Hans Veltman and Nancy Westerlaken provided an update on the latest developments in the new pension scheme. You can still watch, the webinar of 4 February 2025, but the 10 June 2026 webinar is more recent.
Jan
You’ll receive a pension for the rest of your life, no matter how old you get. For example, in February 2025, Jan van Ierland from Bloemendaal was the Fund’s oldest participant (aged 110). We sat down with him to reminisce. Jan has since passed away. This was Jan’s story in the March 2025 Life & Pension.
Carolien
Biodiversity and investing – how does it work? Carolien van der Vliet-Hameeteman is a TNO project manager on projects dealing with cyber security technology and security techniques. She also serves as a TNO Pension Fund Board member and knows a great deal about biodiversity. This was Carolien’s story in the March 2025 Life & Pension.
Suzanne
Suzanne van Kooten and Hans Veltman of TNO Pension Fund provided another (brief) update on the developments of the new pension scheme expected to take effect on 1 July 2026 with a video message in the summer of 2025. Want to watch the clip again? This was the video message from Suzanne and Hans (Dutch) in 2025.
