Sharing our journey of strategic diversification

Last week, Huisman took part in the MNPX event hosted by ASML, in collaboration with the Make Next Platform (MNP) and Techleap. The event brought together start-ups and corporates to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and inspire one another.

David Roodenburg, CEO of Huisman, contributed to the day’s central theme: ‘To diversify or not’. He shared Huisman’s journey through strategic diversification, emphasising the importance of maintaining strong disciplines, building client intimacy, and learning from operational execution.

David’s candid insights sparked meaningful conversations, with many participants recognising similar dilemmas in their own growth paths. His presentation framed diversification not merely as a strategic option, but as a necessity for long-term resilience in high-tech manufacturing.

We’re proud to be part of the Make Next Platform and to contribute to a community that actively supports innovation and empowers the next generation of technology leaders.
