"Innovience Int. responds intelligently to the demand for a stable and reliable internet connection. With their global connections inside and outside the technical field, the knowledge with which they attract employees outside the region, their cooperation with Eindhoven University of Technology and the potential impact they have on the market, we are proud that this company is located in Tilburg. Smart and creative entrepreneurs work as a catalyst for other smart industries. And with the potential that this product has, global impact cannot be ruled out. I understand that Luuk is already working with parties in Latin America and the USA. We can only encourage that!"

FIBERunlimited

Under the trade name FIBERunlimited, the company is about to conquer the world from Tilburg. Luuk Pals is not afraid of competition, a European patent has already been obtained and with the lead in knowledge that he and his team have built up, it will take some time before the company can be overtaken. Luuk: "My mission is to improve communication with each other, now I have the technology to do that, for both the business market and the consumer market, and we are unique in that. Hundreds of projects divided into different segments such as homes, schools, hotels and offices are already equipped with our technology." This technology is marketed through distributors and operators such as KPN. "We recently furnished 300 homes, and the old KPN headquarters in The Hague has been 'converted' into 300 apartments. We have also equipped the hotel at the end of the Pier in Scheveningen (The Pier Suites) with our technology and we are now working on a variety of new projects.

Tilburg the smartest

According to Luuk, the fact that he makes an impact from Tilburg is easy to explain: "Tilburg is very centrally located and the accessibility is excellent. You can easily reach Eindhoven, Rotterdam or Amsterdam by train. Excellent accessibility without having to pay the main price for a building. In addition, the facilities are excellent and there is a lot of knowledge and still available labour potential. My ambition with Tilburg? With my Smart City Academy program together with the municipality of Tilburg I want to become the Smart City of the Netherlands!"
