Kidman & Nicholson played a key role in establishing Verhaert’s satellite office in Noordwijk, Netherlands. Designed as an innovation hub for sales and new business development, this office strategically expanded Verhaert’s presence in the Dutch market while leveraging expertise from its headquarters in Belgium and its team in Portugal.

The Dutch branch served as a front-facing entity, focused on forging partnerships and identifying opportunities in diverse industries. By drawing on the resources and knowledge of Verhaert’s main offices, we ensured Dutch clients benefited from a seamless integration of expertise in innovation management and technology development.

From this base in Noordwijk, we developed the Verhaert Connect proposition, fostering targeted collaborations between public and private stakeholders. This initiative emphasized Verhaert’s ability to deliver tailored solutions across multiple sectors, combining technological expertise with practical applications.
