Frequently Asked Questions

Can you also organize production?

Yes, we can fully organize and oversee the production of your product or parts of it. For over 25 years, we have worked with reliable production partners (both in Europe and the Far East) to ensure the quality and timely delivery of your product. We do this for smaller series, for example, for Holst Centre products, all the way to mass production like the Single Eve EV-charger Single Eve EV-charger for Alfen.

What does a development project cost, and what is the average lead time?
GBO_Innovation_makers_balans_en_kosten_ontwikkeltraject_projecten_gemiddelde_doorlooptijd

The cost of a development project depends on the complexity and scope. A development can take a week, such as a cap for Yildrizz for brand activation, or months, as in the case of the cap for Kraft Heinz which was more complex. Per project, we assess the complexity, scope, and which levers we can adjust to find the right balance between planning, budget, and risk.

Ask Jeroen
Can you help explore investment opportunities for projects?

We are open to partnerships and have strong contacts with potential investors. Sometimes, we even become a risk-bearing partner in a project. Contact us to discuss the possibilities.

Ask Fabian
Do you consider sustainable product design?

Yes, we pay a lot of attention to sustainable product design. We help companies transition to sustainable and circular products. By staying up to date with the latest developments in materials, processes and regulations, we can effectively apply this knowledge in our design process. For example, we have a location at the Brightlands Chemelot Campus for expertise in new and circular materials.

How do you handle project confidentiality?

We take confidentiality very seriously and use Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) to protect information on both sides. Additionally, we operate with a split work structure at GBO Innovation makers the ground floor is dedicated to reception and meeting rooms where open innovation takes place, while the upper floor is reserved for product development and prototypes in a secured and protected environment. Do you have more questions about confidentiality?
