Lotte de Groen
My name is Lotte de Groen. I am Acting Market Director at TNO Vector, where I operate at the strategic intersection of societal transitions, innovation, and market development. In this role, I focus on accelerating and scaling transitions that have a tangible impact on long-term competitiveness, societal resilience, and broad prosperity.
At TNO Vector, we work closely with companies, governments, and knowledge institutions to bridge the gap between policy ambition and implementation reality. A central element of my leadership is orchestrating innovation: bringing public and private actors together around shared challenges, aligning interests across sectors and value chains, and enabling effective collaboration across different governance levels.
At its best, this orchestration leads to ambitious, action-oriented coalitions with a shared strategic direction and the capacity to deliver. From local and regional initiatives to national and European programmes, we contribute to shaping transitions that strengthen earning capacity, reinforce resilience, and support sustainable and inclusive growth. Where complexity or uncertainty prevails, I focus on identifying leverage points where targeted interventions can unlock momentum and move systems forward.
