ROZ – Hengelo

The municipality of Hengelo has placed all its entrepreneurial support activities in a separate foundation: the ROZ-Groep

ROZ (regional support for the self-employed) is a partner that focuses on supporting entrepreneurs in the Twente and Achterhoek regions. ROZ advises, guides and supports entrepreneurs in the start-up phase as well as in the follow-up. They do this by offering supporting programs, training and coaching, and by providing resources and papers.

Expertise

Expertise

Since the ROZ partners are strongly connected to the local authorities, they know the local and regional market.

ROZ operates in the middle of an extensive administrative and entrepreneurial network. Due to its independent position, the ROZ is an ideal partner to connect with the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region.

The ROZ is also involved in this KA2 project because the highly spcialized business coaches are linked to most of the local companies. There is a lot of expertise with regard to personal guidance. That is why supporting student companies and start-ups has been a great success . This has been demonstrated in recent years.

ROZ will be assigned the role of coach – supervisor of student entrepreneurs, whereby project leader and business advisor Bert Breukers joins in from the beginning , later on followed by fellow business consultants.
