10 million growth capital for Bright Cape after joining forces
Digitization and robotization
"We need in-house knowledge of artificial intelligence."
Erwin Cootjans, Nunner
"We need in-house knowledge of artificial intelligence," motivates the Nunner director. Through his company Baerbergh Holding he acquires half of the shares of Bright Cape. The other half remains in the hands of the Eindhoven investment company GGD Investments. GGD is also making growth capital available to Bright Cape.
High Tech Campus
The data company of founder/director Serge Beniers has grown in recent years to some fifty employees, spread across offices in the former Petra church in Eindhoven, in Amsterdam and on the High Tech Campus.
ASML and healthcare robot
Bright Cape works for companies such as ASML and Philips as well as banks and insurers. It is also involved in the development of healthcare robot Sara, which supports staff in healthcare institutions.
"We have a growth ambition with Bright Cape, both with multinationals and SMEs," says Bram van den Heuvel on behalf of GGD Investments. "To that end, we want to be able to employ more and better people."
Anticipating orders
The data company also wants to shape its growth through collaborations. In Cootjans it has both a financial partner and a party to join forces with in terms of content. For the application of artificial intelligence and robotics at Nunner, Bright Cape director Beniers sees a range of possibilities. He mentions, for example, the use of robots for picking orders in warehouses, combining loads based on historical data and anticipating upcoming orders based on previous orders.
The advantage of the cooperation for Nunner is that it can also offer its customers Bright Cape's services. The data company, in turn, can use the experiences at Nunner in logistics processes, particularly at manufacturing companies that it has as customers.
