Company Profile
Syntens, business innovation network, supports business people in small and medium-sized enterprises through countless activities and projects in the broadest sense of the word. The aim is to increase the revenue of Dutch sme’s by means of stimulating innovation.
The Syntens consultants work independently and match the entrepreneur to the right (market) parties via their extensive network of companies and institutes. Syntens is a not-for-profit organisation, which operates in and with companies that want to innovate. Syntens’ advice stretches to the first crucial phases of innovation: finding the challenge and the best path for its solution.
Syntens operates in six sectors, namely industry, human health, construction, creative industry, wholesale & logistics, food & agri. For Syntens human health means medical technology, life sciences and health care.
Science and Technologies or Services
Syntens offers a large number of innovation services to Dutch SME’s. With a central office in Nieuwegein, near Utrecht, and fifteen regional offices throughout the Netherlands, there is a low geographical barrier to obtain solid advice from Syntens. Thanks to this regional network structure Syntens consultants are always close to the entrepreneur. Furthermore, Syntens has no commercial interests because the Department of Economic Affairs and other parties in the public sector attach a great deal of importance to innovation. Hence, they finance Syntens’ activities. This also allows Syntens to operate independent, free of commercial interest and at no cost to the entrepreneur. In exchange the entrepreneur is expected to display inquisitiveness, effort and involvement.
Alliances
Syntens has an extensive network of which entrepreneurs can profit, e.g. with all universities in Amsterdam the Netherlands, TNO and many commercial parties. Also, the IRC network is an important alliance across Europe.Keywords
