We focus on SMEs from the beginning

Sharing knowledge and bringing parties closer to each other. That is where we contribute from day one. There is a lot of knowledge in SMEs that is not used at all. This needs to change.

SMEs have an essential role in innovation ecosystems. Yet we perceive that exactly this group often stays out of sight with governments and other organisations that stimulate innovation. Often the attention goes to big parties. Even though innovative SMEs develop a lot of new things. In this way, regional, successful collaborations arise.

Get insights in the local economy

Find out where companies are. With our platform you can easily make regional analyses, get insights in business parks and find out where the innovation power of your region lies. 

Find your partners for collaboration

Searching startups? Or want to work together with companies with a certain expertise? With Innovatiespotter.nl you can easily find the companies you're searching for.

We map every company

We are the AI-driven platform for innovation ecosystems. All 2.8 million Dutch companies are searchable on their activities. Find companies that use the technology of today to work on the world of tomorrow. 

Innovating is a collaborate activity

That's why you can bring parties together that otherwise don't find each other, with our platform. These collaborations are extremely important to solve big societal challenges, like the energy transition or circularity. In this way you stimulate sustainable development and contribute to co-creation at companies. Sustainability targets and the Sustainable Development Goals are making sure the government, companies and knowledge institutions can not avoid innovation.

Stimulate innovation

We provide data to help you. With our platform you collect data and link companies. Our data gives many analyses and interesting insights. Stimulate innovation by reaching parties with what they need.
