Our mission
To strengthen the management, processing and optimized use of information for breeding companies, companies in the Agri & Food sector and certification companies.
Our vision
Agri Information Partners is the market leader in IT for plant breeding companies. Furthermore, we hold a leading position in the certification and Agri & Food sector. We also will endeavor to deploy our unique combination of technical expertise and knowhow successfully abroad.
How it all started
2003 was the year of the big step towards self-employment for us. 4 colleagues worked at a company threatened with bureaucracy and a lack of focus. We thought: we have to get out of here, but how? Writing business plans and difficult conversations at the bank to get financing. Financing was possible but with stones as collateral. Dubbing, rewriting plans, talking to potential other financiers. Did we dare to take the step?
