Marjolein Nijhuis
Founder + Managing Director + Senior ConsultantOne of my customers once described me as the “grindstone of his thoughts.” This was a great compliment for me, because it reflects how I work with our customers to shape their projects by means of grants and incentives.

David Paul Doornbos
Founder + Senior ConsultantThe challenge for me is to make the connection between our customers’ complex projects and grant opportunities. This connection isn’t always apparent. Our talent for this ‘sport’ is an essential component of our success.

Constantijn van Eck
ConsultantAs a Process Engineer I am familiar with the need of organisations to continuously improve their processes and make them more sustainable. Not only are these changes accompanied by major technical challenges, the financial barrier is often very high. At Plus Projects I get the opportunity to help organisations overcome the financial threshold and thus the possibility to facilitate technical progress in the field of sustainability and science.

Erik Sewalt, MSc
ConsultantI have broad interest in technology, IT and finance. This makes it a lot of fun to work on innovations with many different organisations. Not only because it is interesting in terms of content, but also because I can offer the possibility of further innovation through grant funding.

Ruben Maranus, MSc
ConsultantDue to my interest in metropolitan climate transitions—and specifically the role of government within these – I am particularly drawn to public funding at the regional, national, and European levels, as well as its impact. Climate transitions are in full swing. One way to accelerate them is for the business sector to continue investing in and innovating around sustainability. As an industrial engineer with a passion for sustainability, I have the opportunity at Plus Projects to advise and support companies in various sectors in realizing their innovation projects.

Ewout van den Dries, LLM
ConsultantTo me growth is key. Both personal growth and the sustainable development of our international society are, in my view, one of the greatest interests for today’s society. I can apply my diverse interests in art, culture, energy, technology and safeguarding our biodiversity in my job at Plus Projects. Working at Plus Projects also gives me the opportunity to use my legal background and to solve legal-technical issues, with the aim of providing the client with maximum subsidy advice and facilitating their growth.

ConsultantThe urgent need for a transition to a more sustainable society is growing, with innovation playing a key role. At Plus Projects, I have the opportunity to work on projects that make our world more sustainable and innovative. The diversity of companies I interact with—and support through tailored advice—makes working at Plus Projects both enjoyable and challenging. My broad interest in innovation and sustainability facilitates communication with our clients and creates opportunities to realize further innovation through financial support via subsidies.

Tessa Noordermeer
ConsultantI believe it’s important to contribute to the sustainability of the Netherlands. Sometimes, companies just need that extra push to embark on a sustainability project. Subsidies can make all the difference and help stimulate greening efforts. I think it’s fantastic that I get to work at Plus on projects that make a difference—socially, ecologically, and/or economically. With my background in sustainable business administration, I can analyze business processes and identify further opportunities for sustainability. This way, I deliver maximum impact.

Bram Naves
ConsultantFrom idea to reality – that’s what I want to work on every day. There are countless ideals and ideas with the potential to make a positive impact, but they often just need that final push. With my background in circular economy and entrepreneurship, I contribute by thinking along and providing the right acceleration. I strive for clear and personal communication, which helps me connect with the project and explain complex subsidy processes in an understandable way. As part of the Plus Projects team, I not only create positive impact but also get to meet many inspiring entrepreneurs.

Dennis Haverhals
ConsultantHow can we create more engagement in society? For over 20 years, I’ve been exploring this question in various ways. I’ve designed educational games to encourage personal development and cultural involvement. I’ve developed interactive lessons as a teacher, with “playing” with code at the center. And I’ve worked as a programmer on innovative projects aimed at raising awareness of social issues. I bring all these experiences into my role at Plus, supporting companies in taking meaningful steps toward a sustainable future – one that increasingly meets everyone’s needs and supports personal development.

Mireille Karthaus
Office ManagerAs Office Manager I am responsible for the (financial) administration, organizational and secretarial matters, I’m the link between management and the consultants, the point of contact for our suppliers and customers and facility support. It’s important that everything runs smoothly here.
Working at Plus Projects is certainly challenging, it is never boring here. There is a good team spirit and everyone is here for each other. That makes it a nice place to work.
My motto is above all: “a day without laughter is a day wasted”!
About Plus Projects
Plus Projects was founded in 2005 by Marjolein Nijhuis en David Paul Doornbos with the intention not to be the biggest, but to be the best grant and incentives consultancy.
We have evolved into a successful consultancy specialised in innovation and sustainability projects that positively impact the world around us. A consultancy that aspires to build constructive relationships with its clients, and with grant institutions, without losing sight of quality, and with the courage to stick its head out from the crowd. Getting the maximum out of every project is and will always be the formula to our success.
We are proud of all the clients we have advised over the years, and with whom we have built a constructive, personal relationship. This includes the most innovative and sustainability-oriented businesses in The Netherlands; from car manufacturers to record labels to sugar plants. They know they can count on us.
We hope to be of service to you too!
Mission + Vision
Together with our clients we are at the core of complex innovation and sustainability projects, with a positive impact on our society.
It is our mission to strengthen these projects by rendering maximum grant advice. We do this with a personal approach, critically, diligently, and professionally, regarding all the stakeholders involved. This way, we actively contribute to the positive development of the world of tomorrow.
Art Connection
We have a special connection with art. Art is subjective, speaks to the imagination, demands insight and conveys the artists’ ideas. There is common ground with the world of grants, but that is besides the point in this case. Art simply belongs to Plus Projects’ fibre. This will not elude you when you visit our office, and is explicitly woven into our visual identity.
