Clemens Stolk

Clemens Stolk supports startups that come from outside horticulture and offer new technology that can be interesting for horticulture. Together with Stefan van der Heijden, his partner at the company Innova Connect, he helps them get started in horticulture, looks at how their offering meets market needs, brings them into contact with potential customers and supports them in setting up and implementing of feasibility research.

“We organized a strategy session for a startup from outside horticulture. This startup has developed a technology with interesting applications in agriculture and horticulture, but a number of these applications are highly regulated by legislation. In this session we brought together experts with different backgrounds. In one day, the startup gained insight into the market potential of its technology and the legislative framework of the various applications. This led to a sound strategy that helped the company to set priorities and make choices.”
