Serving our clients even better in realizing their innovation ambitions

Our combined expertise, geographical coverage and broad spectrum of services enable us to better meet the increasing market demand for an extensive range of grants and consulting services. We can now serve our clients even better in realizing their innovation ambitions.”

 

Excited and impatient

Annette Ringwald, managing director at ARTTIC, is convinced that PNO and ARTTIC will truly inspire each other. “I am very happy about the new PNO and ARTTIC combination, since I really think both parties complement each other in expertise and portfolio, to the benefit of our clients. During the preceding talks I noticed a real mutual understanding about our markets and strategy, which I found very inspiring indeed. Being able to further expand our brands and at the same time take advantage of each other’s knowledge and strengths, makes me feel excited and even a bit impatient to see what we can achieve together.”
