Partner in the largest independent network for the Dutch high-tech and manufacturing industry.
In the high-tech and manufacturing industry, success has long since ceased to be just about technology. Knowledge, quality, and innovation remain essential — but the real breakthroughs often happen because people know how to find each other.
That is why NOVIUM Composites has been affiliated with the Mikrocentrum High Tech Platform since 2015: the largest independent network for the Dutch high-tech and manufacturing industry, with over 550 affiliated companies, knowledge institutes, and specialists.
What sets the Mikrocentrum apart is its independent position within the industry. The platform is not a commercial sales organization, but a network where knowledge sharing is central.
This creates an open atmosphere where entrepreneurs, engineers, buyers, and specialists meet each other in an approachable way — during company visits, knowledge sessions, Meet & Match gatherings, and trade fairs.
"Not every meeting has to immediately result in an assignment. Often it starts with a good conversation."
For NOVIUM, the membership has led to valuable contacts within the Dutch and Belgian manufacturing industry. Some grew into long-term collaborations. Others provided insights that helped us advise customers better.
And sometimes an introduction only proves valuable years later, when an issue arises that you didn't know would come up at the time. For example, over the years, we have built up valuable contacts through the network in sectors including the following:
Today's challenges are bigger than a single company. The shortage of technical talent, making production processes more sustainable, increasing demands for quality and precision, the rise of digitalization and AI, and international competition — they affect everyone in the chain. By sharing experiences and thinking together about solutions, the sector as a whole becomes stronger. That is exactly what happens within the High Tech Platform.
The Mikrocentrum organizes not only networking events, but also trade fairs such as the Kunststoffenbeurs and the Precisiebeurs, technical congresses, training courses, and theme days.
This creates a complete ecosystem where meeting, learning, and doing business come together — a unique place to remain visible and to closely follow new developments.
At NOVIUM, we believe that sustainable growth begins with sustainable relationships. Technology connects people; innovation arises where knowledge, experience, and entrepreneurship come together. That is why we have been active within the Mikrocentrum High Tech Platform for over ten years.
Not because networking is a goal in itself, but because we experience daily that the right connection at the right time can make the difference.
