Erik Joosten, CEO of Arion International, says how delighted he is to take part in this project.

The project is being run in cooperation with PricewaterhouseCoopers and the platform is organized by Port4Growth, the Baak Management Center, VNO-NCW, Philips Applied Technologies and AKD Prinsen Van Wijmen. Since December 2008, companies have been able to identify themselves on a special website and this resulted in a great deal of interest, with 126 companies meeting the initial criteria. From among these, 43 have been accepted to go with the program.
