— Spin-offs & new ventures

Sparking new industries

When our developments fill a key technological gap, we don't wait for industries to catch up. We kick-start new ecosystems and disrupt the status quo.

— Why we spin off

Turning feasibility into economic impact

When our developments fill a key technological gap, we find ways to accelerate their market introduction through spin-offs or other ventures. This ensures that the latest and most beneficial technologies are available to the industries that can benefit from them. It also strengthens the Netherlands' position in the key control points that will define our future.
