International Business Support Office
Many activities so far resemble the activities of Netherlands Business Support Offices (NBSO). Whereas NBSO are set up by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (via NL Agency) specifically to support Dutch businesses in their international activities, our approach is more commercial, making use of public and private.
Sytse Ybema is creative and knowledgable and attentive to the client’s perspectives and ideas. I share his belief of the importance of open innovation in the process of expanding knowledge and creating new business opportunities.
Sustainovate is innovative and flexible and has a very strong network that is different from the established order, especially in the Nordic (bio)marine sector. The company applies interesting out of the box approaches in sustainable business development.
