Monique Rijkers
My name is Monique Rijkers, and I am the Research Manager of the Business & Finance Models (BFM) department within TNO Vector. BFM is a team of 35 dedicated individuals who share the mission to transform European industry and promote sustainable growth through innovation. We support businesses, sectors, and governments in making strategic decisions together.
Our analyses support this process by providing economic and business insights, forming a solid foundation for policy and investment decisions. We translate technical possibilities into new collaboration models to achieve the desired changes.
After working in the industry for many years, I transitioned to TNO. A key motivation for this step was my belief that major innovations and transformations can no longer be achieved by individual companies alone. Collaboration is essential to address societal challenges – but this does not happen automatically. With this conviction, I feel completely at home at BFM!
