Utrecht, 29 September 2025: Valcon, the European consultancy, has today announced its sharpened strategic vision – to become a European powerhouse in AI and data-driven transformation. This new positioning follows investment from Rivean Capital Partners, which was announced earlier this year.
Recognising industry demands for increased productivity and capitalising on Valcon’s already considerable experience in working on AI and data transformation, Valcon plans to be at the forefront of the market to help clients derive tangible value from AI and data projects.
Bringing together its consulting, technology and data capabilities, Valcon will embed AI and data at the centre of all client propositions. Led by industry experts Koko Visser PhD, Bart Leurs and Sander de Jongh, the firm is launching a dedicated ‘AI speedboat’ programme designed to accelerate its go-to-market offering, strengthen client delivery and upskill its people to meet the opportunities of the global AI revolution.
Geert van den Goor, CEO of Valcon, commented: “AI is reshaping industries at speed. Clients are looking for partners who combine deep data and technology expertise with industry and business knowledge to unlock sustainable productivity gains. Our heritage and scale across Europe uniquely position us to deliver end-to-end transformation. By putting AI and data at the heart of what we do, we can ensure clients achieve lasting impact while offering our people outstanding career development opportunities.”
