Having worked for 17 years in the water industry, the lack of cooperation between companies struck me as the largest obstacle for successful projects. When cooperation works, it does because both the people and the goal are aligned, and the drivers for the partners do not contradict. Aqua Innovation Network is there to manage this process. The mission is clear and simple: better technologies to the market. Together can be better, but not all cooperation’s are. However, with the Principles in one hand, and the Network as a coach in the relationship, the chances of a success will increase substantially.You can find more info (in Dutch) on www.aquain.nlSatisfied clients include:RWE / EssentLong term consultancy contract to improve the performance of their process- and waste water facility of one of their plants.

Henk is a graphical designer, specialized in Puzzles, has great artistic skills, not so much on entrepeneurship. We hired him as of feb 1st 2019. He predominantly still does work for his former company but now at home. His dream was to make his own puzzlebook, and when he had time to spare, he developed one. We decided to create a new market, for affordable LARGE LETTER Puzzlebooks under the name TP Puzzels. When we finally got the first batch, CORONA hit our country and we decided to give the whole first batch of 1000 books to the elderly in isolation. We hope one day TP Puzzels will thrive, so far it feels good to do good so there are no regrets. Show less
