TechConcepts B.V.

TechConcepts B.V. is a Netherlands-based consultancy company that specialises in management and consultancy services in the field of European research projects and innovation activities. Established in 2021 by Dr. Anish Patil and Willar Vonk, the firm positions itself as a "sustainable innovation partner" that creates strong innovative concepts and connects innovative parties to build valuable, long-lasting and strategic partnerships. Its registered base is in Stolwijk, in the Netherlands. The company's core specialisation lies in the sustainable mobility and energy sector, with particular focus on battery materials and technologies, the recycling of valuable materials, automotive and maritime technology, and energy and the environment. Within these areas of expertise, TechConcepts offers concept development and proposal writing, dissemination and exploitation management, and innovation management and training. It assists clients with technology roadmapping, strategy building and market analysis, and it supports the development of winning project proposals at both national and European level. TechConcepts draws on the founders' extensive experience with European framework programmes. The firm states that it has been involved in the development and execution of numerous research and innovation projects, mainly during the FP7, H2020 and Horizon Europe work programmes, and that it has led multiple framework service contracts and contract research projects for DG GROWTH and DG CLIMA of the European Commission. This experience underpins its service offering to coordinators and consortia, including full-service proposal development, consortium development and the facilitation of consortium discussions. As a private consultancy rather than a manufacturer, TechConcepts does not sell physical products; its offerings are professional services. Its market is primarily the Netherlands and the wider European Union, where it works with research consortia, technology developers and public bodies engaged in innovation funding. The company remains active and continues to present itself as an innovation partner in the sustainable mobility and energy transition space.

TechConcepts B.V. was established in 2021 by Dr. Anish Patil and Willar Vonk. At the time of establishment, both founders already had more than 15 years of experience in concept development, project management and impact realisation. The company was set up to develop sound and meaningful technical concepts and to create value from technical innovations, building on the founders' prior involvement in European research and innovation projects. The founders brought substantial track records to the new firm. Willar Vonk, co-founder and senior consultant, is described as an experienced manager with over 20 years of experience in automotive R&D and policy development projects, holding a degree in automotive engineering. He has been active in exploitation activities in the project EXTENDED (next generation of multifunctional, modular and scalable solid state battery systems) and in leading communication and dissemination activities in projects such as PULSELiON (pulsed laser deposition technology for solid-state batteries). Dr. Anish Patil is the other co-founder. Before and around the founding of TechConcepts, the founders were involved in the formation and execution of numerous research and innovation projects, mainly during the FP7 and H2020 work programmes, and they led multiple framework service contracts for DG GROWTH and DG CLIMA of the European Commission. This experience with European funding instruments became the foundation of the company's service model. TechConcepts established itself as a consultancy specialising in management and consultancy services in the field of European research projects and innovation activities. It focused its expertise on the sustainable mobility and energy sector, with specialisation in battery materials and technologies, recycling of valuable materials, automotive and maritime technology, and energy and the environment. Over time the firm has continued to work with the FP7, H2020 and Horizon Europe work programmes, positioning itself as a partner for consortia seeking to develop and submit competitive project proposals. The company is registered in Stolwijk, in the Netherlands, and operates as a private consultancy serving clients in the Netherlands and across the European Union. Its service lines include concept development and proposal writing, dissemination and exploitation management, and innovation management and training, alongside technology roadmapping, strategy building and market analysis.
