Researchable is happy to work with international students
"Every company has become an IT company. They just don't know it yet. We help them get the most out of their data."
Barely twenty-five years old, and already co-owner of a company that is about to become a phenomenon in Groningen.
Eduard met Frank Blaauw, managing director at Researchable when he studied Small Business and Entrepreneurship at the University of Groningen. They both followed a VentureLab program, an initiative on Campus Groningen that helps start-ups grow. “I remember thinking, Hey, that's interesting what they're doing. Every company has data, right? Why isn't it much bigger then?" Eduard saw his chance and he took it.
Everything is data
Researchable specializes in unlocking, analyzing, and combining large amounts of data. “A good example is our collaboration with fellow campus resident EV Biotech,” says Eduard. “They try to reproduce raw materials in a sustainable way. To this end, they not only conduct research in a 'regular' laboratory but also in a digital laboratory. This produces an enormous amount of data. All this data must be stored correctly so that data analysis can be carried out. That is the database that we are building.”
Students are essential
To keep innovating, Researchable needs the knowledge of students. “They are essential to us.” Every month the company organizes a knowledge session with pizza and drinks and Researchable regularly has projects where students and recent graduates can provide added value. “It also helps that we are located on Campus Groningen. For example, we recently met a student from Kazakhstan on the Campus. An insanely smart person. He is now completely at the right place with us.”
