Horus view and explore develops hardware and software for mobile mapping for clients around the world. She uses virtual reality to make it possible for sick children to attend school from their hospital beds. And she supplies so-called multisensor software, which is used in self-driving cars and in the robot industry.
Joining Innovatiecluster Drachten is a logical step for HORUS to further develop as a high-tech company. Both substantively by sharing knowledge and commercially. Founder and owner René Bolhuis does not believe that competitors exist. He tries to make people believe in what he believes in. ,,I only see colleagues, partners and customers. Why compete when you can also work together? That's why joining Innovatiecluster Drachten is a logical step for me. Moreover, the cluster has wonderful companies from which we can learn a lot to make our products even better.’’
healthtech
HORUS, according to Binne Visser, chairman of Innovatiecluster Drachten, is one such company that quietly and in the background does valuable things. ,,Nobody knows them, but they go all over the world. And what they do, in that they are unique. They combine the latest technology with the smartest software that they develop themselves. And the best part is that with their technology they offer solutions to social issues. For example, their healthtech makes it possible for sick children to go to school from their hospital beds. Reason enough to further strengthen our business cluster with HORUS.’
Pride
Kristel Rutgers, alderman of the municipality of Het Hogeland and herself from Bedum, speaks with pride about the development of the company. ,,I have seen HORUS grow from a one-man start-up to a high-tech company that is now active on the global market. The new accommodation at Bedrijvenpark Boterdiep has certainly contributed to this. Moreover, in their premises you see a wonderful spin-off from other companies that create new employment opportunities for the higher educated youth in our municipality.”
Innovation region
Smallingerland City Councilman Robert Bakker is pleased with the expansion of the business cluster outside Fryslân. ,,With the arrival of HORUS, Innovatiecluster Drachten not only gains a wonderful company, but the number of connected high-tech companies outside Fryslân increases. This shows exactly what the business cluster stands for: innovative cooperation within and for the whole of the Northern Netherlands.’’
