Escher Water Projects connects innovators (inventors, knowledge institutes, companies, designers, artists), innovative civil servants, executives and citizens to bring an innovation to a broader application.

He manages the timing, the opportunities and the right people to cash chances.
Best Practices: Back Banks (Koopmanspolder), Plastic Free Rivers Makathon, Open Data Estafette Water.
Strategic management consulting and implementation. Years of experience with design and realization of strategic plans and the translation to operational goals and effectuation.
