Jeroen is director of Corporate Development and member of the General Board of Directors at Sirris. He is principally involved in the development of the Masterplan Innovation for the technology industry. The Masterplan Innovation reflects the economic, social and technological trends that will impact on the future business, products/services and manufacturing processes of the companies within that technological industry.
The plan acts as a guide for the long-term strategy of the various Sirris business units. It is also used to check the industrial relevance of specific, new initiatives within the Sirris portfolio. This is carried out both in terms of research and development and in terms of specific services for companies.
Jeroen has an extensive background and an education in sciences, economics and philosophy. In the past he has carried out scientific and also applied industrial research. In addition he has supported many companies with their (technical) strategy, as well as organising their research and development activities through to specific product development and innovation plans. He also set up the Software Engineering Group at Sirris.
