Innovation specialist De Breed & Partners acquired the RTE Adviesgroep (Advisory Group), a Dutch consulting company specialized in SME growth and tech start-ups.

The acquisition will bring further expertise to the group, notably with a focus on helping companies to obtain and use smart capital. Thanks to this integration, DB&P will be able to offer a broader financing mix.

John Krijger, former owner of RTE, says: “We are very motivated to grow further as a full service provider on innovation and finance issues. Together we have all the knowledge and network at home: grants, special credits, crowdfunding and venture capital. Good news that DB&P can now accelerate this strategic route with the integration of RTE.”
