Melati Wijsen

Melati Wijsen is a young changemaker, who believes it is possible to make lasting, sustainable impact. She gave an inspiring keynote at our PUMday 2025, addressing the many PUM experts present:

“I call myself a changemaker because I believe a better world is possible. I emphasise the power of curiosity because it is a driving force every entrepreneur should have. It’s the curiosity about the world around us, the curiosity about why things are the way they are, and also the curiosity about what else is possible. That’s a skill I believe every aspiring entrepreneur needs to have."

A huge thank you to all our volunteers!

You bring your expertise, energy and passion to collaborate with entrepreneurs around the world. Powered by your dedication and hands-on approach, ideas turn into thriving businesses, challenges become opportunities and communities grow stronger.

You are a valued part of PUM, and we’re truly grateful for your commitment as a PUM volunteer.

Together, we shape a more sustainable future. Together we grow!
