Prospact recently joined FEDA, the trade association and entrepreneurial platform for drive and automation technology. Jos Kelderman, association manager at FEDA, talks about the cooperation, the benefits and opportunities in the future.
Jos: "The process translators now have access to our extensive network."
Dynamic
Jos: "As a member of FEDA, Prospact is now part of a dynamic entrepreneurial platform dedicated to stimulating business and providing valuable networking opportunities. FEDA unites around 150 members and plays a key role in the success of companies within this sector."
Wide range
FEDA's members collectively provide jobs for 30,000 employees. They have access to a wide range of resources. From business insights to policy influence. As a member of FEDA, Prospact thereby supports the interests of the industry and promotes their own growth, and that of partners.
Events
Jos: "Together with my colleague Rinke, I deal with the day-to-day operations as association manager. We work closely with the board and with our team take care of organising events, financial administration and managing our online knowledge base and market data portal."
Synergy
"Membership is voluntary, but offers many benefits," Jos explains. "Such as inspiration, information and the opportunity to renew and strengthen one's own business. Prospact itself contacted us and after the first meeting with our board members, we immediately felt a strong synergy."
Sharing knowledge
Jos: "We focus on supporting business operations, exploiting commercial opportunities and responding to relevant regulations. To this end, we organise events, where we bring our network together and share knowledge. In addition, we offer a BI portal with market reports and statistics."
Logical addition
"Prospact is a logical addition to our network," Jos continues. "With their innovative and entrepreneurial attitude, they bring a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm. That was immediately appreciated by our board members during the introduction."
Distinctive
Jos: "Their expertise in systems integration is impressive. Prospact specialises in linking processes, such as when building factories, also using machines from our network. That expertise is of great value within FEDA."
